Background

Covered self-expandable metal stents (CSEMSs) were developed to prevent tumor ingrowth, but stent migration is one of the problems with CSEMSs.

Objective

To evaluate a new, commercially available CSEMS with flared ends and low axial force compared with a commercially available CSEMS without the anti-migration system and high axial force.

Design

Multicenter, prospective study with a historical cohort.

Setting

Twenty Japanese referral centers.

Patients

This study involved patients with unresectable distal malignant biliary obstruction.

Intervention

Placement of a new, commercially available, partially covered SEMS.

Main Outcome Measurements

Recurrent biliary obstruction rate, time to recurrent biliary obstruction, stent-related complications, survival.

Results

Between April 2009 and March 2010, 141 patients underwent partially covered nitinol stent placement, and between May 2001 and January 2007, 138 patients underwent placement of partially covered stainless stents as a historical control. The silicone cover of the partially covered nitinol stents prevented tumor ingrowth. There were no significant differences in survival (229 vs 219 days; P = .250) or the rate of recurrent biliary obstruction (33%vs 38%; P = .385) between partially covered nitinol stents and partially covered stainless stents. Stent migration was less frequent (8%vs 17%; P = .019), and time to recurrent biliary obstruction was significantly longer (373 vs 285 days; P = .007) with partially covered nitinol stents. Stent removal was successful in 26 of 27 patients (96%).

Limitations

Nonrandomized, controlled trial.

Conclusion

Partially covered nitinol stents with an anti-migration system and less axial force demonstrated longer time to recurrent biliary obstruction with no tumor ingrowth and less stent migration. (Clinical trial registration number: UMIN000002293.)
