A prospective evaluation of results and complications of the insertion of biliary endoprostheses was performed in patients with endoscopic irretrievable bile duct stones. METHODOLOGY: From January 1990 to September 1998, 49 patients (18 men and 31 women; average age 75.5 years), underwent endoscopic biliary stenting for endoscopically irretrievable bile duct stones. RESULTS: Successful biliary drainage was achieved in all patients. Early complications occurred in 12.2% of cases. Over the long-term follow-up (median follow = 39 months) late complications occurred in 40.8% of cases, with 3 cases of biliary-related death. CONCLUSIONS: For immediate bile duct drainage, endoprostheses proved a safe and effective alternative for treatment of patients with endoscopically irretrievable bile duct stones. Because of the risk of subsequent complications, its use as a definitive treatment should be confirmed to highly selected cases. ------>tmu_sno=None ------>sno=12942 ------>authors2=Chen JH ------>authors3=Liao CS ------>authors4=Huang SJ ------>authors5=Yang KC ------>authors6= ------>authors6_c=None ------>authors=Sun CK ------>delete_flag=0 ------>SCI_JNo=None ------>authors2_c=None ------>publish_area=0 ------>updateTitle=Endoscopic stenting for definitive treatment of irretrievable common bile duct calculi.
