Brief summary
The aim of the study is to evaluate technical, clinical and safety outcomes of lumen-apposing metal stent (LAMS) with and without a coaxial double-pigtail plastic stent (DPS) in EUS-guided choledochoduodenostomies (CDS) for the management of biliary obstruction.
Detailed description
The introduction of specific biliary lumen-apposing metal stents (LAMS) represented a great technical improvement in EUS-guided transmural Biliary drainage (BD) of distal malignant biliary obstruction Data is still limited, but recent studies and reviews have been reported with acceptable technical and clinical success. However, some concerns exist regarding its safety, as secondary adverse events There are doubts concerning the possible benefits derived from the insertion of double-pigtail plastic stents (DPS) within the lumen-apposing metal stents (LAMS) in the EUS-guided choledochoduodenostomy (CDS). Our hypothesis is that adding a coaxial plastic stent may offer benefits in terms of safety in CDS.
Interventions
Biliary drainage guided by endoscopic ultrasound: Addition or not, of a axis-orienting plastic stent, mostly, double-pigtail stent through the lumen of a lumen-apposing metal stent
Endoscopic ultrasound-guided transmural biliary drainage is with lumen-apposing metal stent is a formal indication according to the instruction forms of the manufacturer.

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Safety (Adverse events) | 12 months | Safety will be measured by careful and comparative evaluation of adverse effects in both groups. |
| Recurrent biliary obstruction (RBO) | 12 months | Recurrent biliary obstruction (RBO) has been defined as a composite endpoint of either occlusion or migration. |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Clinical success | 2 weeks | Resolution of jaundice or drop in total bilirubin level by \> 50% within 2 weeks after the EUS-CD. |
| Technical success | 24 hours. | Technical success was defined as successful placement of the LAMS between the bile duct and the duodenal lumen, creating a transmural ostomy. To evaluate the correct position of the transmural stent, the deployment of the internal flap in the lumen of the bile duct must be verified by ultrasound vision and the internal flap by endoscopic vision. |
| Survival | 12 months | Survival is defined as the time elapsed between biliary drainage and the end of follow-up, either due to death and cessation of follow-up. |
