Inje University Busan Paik Hospital, KOREA Principles of bile drainage - Drain as much of the functioning liver as possible - Choose less invasive method - Do not fill CM in the undrained ducts, but inevitable in many cases Malignant Hilar Obstructions Introduction: catheter drainage

Inje University Busan Paik Hospital, KOREA Advantage Good quality of life “ Life without jaundice and tube “ Disadvantage Reintervention for occlusion Stent patency: 6~12 Mo - The standards of practice committee of the SCVIR agreed on a 6-month median period of patency of palliative stents for malignant disease. Malignant Hilar Obstructions Palliation with stent

Inje University Busan Paik Hospital, KOREA Palliation in patients with malignant biliary hilar obstruction : complete or incomplete biliary drainage ? Stent placement in patients with malignant biliary hilar obstruction: unilobar drainage or bilobar drainage ? - Endoscopists: Unilobar drainage with a single stent - Interventional radiologists: Bilobar drainage with dual stents Complete drainage Multiple PTBDs : Higher risk of complication Incomplete drainage Undrained ducts: Higher risk of cholangitis Inadequate palliation Malignant Hilar obstructions Introduction: complete vs. incomplete palliation

Inje University Busan Paik Hospital, KOREA Statiscal analysis was performed with use of the Statistical Package f or Social Sciences (version13.0; SPSS, Chicago, IL). Primary stent patency and patient survival were analyzed for Bismuth classification, tumor type, stent configuration, stent combination and ICRT with use of the ANOVA test and Kruscal- Wallis test. Bonferroni correction was used for multiple comparisions. The level of statistical significance was set at p ≤ Statistically significant differences were not observed in the stent patency or the survival in relation to dual-stenting configuration, Bismuth classification, combination of stents, intracavitary radiotherapy, except for tumor type.
