Abstract
Background/aims: Malignant duodenal obstruction has become more common with the development of palliative therapies.The outcomes of endoscopic ultrasound-guided gastrojejunostomy (EUS-GJ) are comparable to those of surgical gastrojejunostomy or duodenal stenting. However, EUS-GJ is technically challenging. Duodenal self-expandable metallic stent (SEMS) placement is popular; however, obstructions are common. Duodenal SEMS obstruction can be managed with the insertion of a second SEMS in a stent-in-stent manner. Therefore, we aimed to analyze the clinical outcomes of secondary duodenal SEMS placement in patients with malignant duodenal obstruction.
Methods: We retrospectively analyzed the data of patients who underwent secondary duodenal stent insertion for duodenal stent dysfunction between January 2016 and December 2021. The primary outcome was stent patency. The secondary outcomes were clinical success, factors associated with dysfunction, patient survival, and adverse events.
Results: A total of 109 patients were included. The mean age was 64.4±11.2 years, and 63 patients (57.8%) were male. Ninety-two patients (84.4%) had pancreaticobiliary cancer. Clinical success was achieved in 94 cases (86.2%). Twenty-three patients experienced stent dysfunction with 231 days of median stent patency (95% confidence interval [CI], 169 to not available). After a multivariable Cox hazard analysis of stent patency, the Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group performance status (hazard ratio [HR], 2.13; 95% CI, 1.20 to 3.81; p=0.010) and the first stent patency ≥6 months (HR, 0.33; 95% CI, 0.11 to 0.95; p=0.050) remained significant associated factors. Adverse events occurred in five patients (4.6%).
Conclusions: Secondary duodenal stent insertion is a viable option for first duodenal stent obstruction. Further comparative studies involving surgery or EUS-GJ for obstructed duodenal stents are warranted.
