About this study

Official title: Biodegradable Stent Implantation in Biliary Benign Strictures. Spanish Register.

Spanish registry of resorbable stent implantation in biliary benign strictures.

This registry is sponsored by the Spanish Society of Vascular and Interventional Radiology (SERVEI) and conducted by the Research Group GITMI (Group of Research in Minimally Invasive Techniques) of the University of Zaragoza (Spain).

A software tool hosted on the official website of SERVEI and the journal Intervencionismo will be used for data collection a(https://estudios.watsoncme.com).

Read the detailed description

This is an prospective observational study of patients that have been implanted a biodegradable stent in the biliary tree.

Patients are recruited when the stent is implanted, and the investigators perfom a patients follow-up during 1, 3, 6, 12, 24, 36, 48 and 52 months.

Being tested
Percutaneous placement of biodegradable biliary stents
Medical subject headings
Biliary Tract Diseases, Constriction, Pathologic

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Percutaneous placement of biodegradable biliary stentsDevice

    The bening biliary strictures stents used in this register are made of polydioxanone (PPDX) (Ella-DV biliary stent, ELLACS, Hradec Králové, Czech Republic). The stents are implanted using a percutaneous transhepatic cholangiography using the standard micropuncture technique. Before stent implantation, balloon bilioplasty may be performed.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Biliary duct patency: bilirubin alterations (> 2.2)

    Biliary duct patency after stent implantation evaluating bilirubin alterations

    Measured: 24 months

  2. Stent reabsorption: radiographic persistence of stent radiopaque marks

    Radiography

    Measured: 12 months

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Biliary duct patency: bilirubin alterations (> 2.2) (time frame: 24 months). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.
