目的 探讨经皮经肝穿刺胆道引流术（PTCD）联合胆道支架置入术治疗恶性梗阻性黄疸的操作技巧及其临床应用价值。方法 2009年8月至2011年5月期间中国医科大学附属第四医院介入科对39例恶性梗阻性黄疸患者施行了PTCD联合胆道支架置入术，对其临床资料和效果进行回顾性分析。结果 39例患者全部穿刺成功，穿刺成功率为100％。穿刺左叶胆管11例，穿刺右叶胆管19例，左右胆管均行穿刺9例；单纯外引流22例，内外引流17例；引流管保留7～14d后均成功行胆道支架置入术。 33例患者自觉症状有缓解。患者术后14d时，其白蛋白、碱性磷酸酶、丙氨酸转氨酶、总胆红素、直接胆红素和间接胆红素水平均较术前降低（P＜0.05）。术后发生胆道感染3例（7.69％），发生急性胰腺炎4例（10.26％），发生支架脱落移位1例（2.56％），无胆汁性腹膜炎等并发症发生。本组32例患者获访，随访时间为8d～16.5个月，平均9.4个月。随访期间，27例患者死于肿瘤进展及多脏器功能衰竭；5例患者存活，无黄疸加重症状。结论 PTCD联合胆道支架置入术是一种姑息治疗恶性梗阻性黄疸的有效方法，具有简便、有效、安全、可重复性等优点，但需注意其适应证的选择和并发症的预防。
ObjectiveTo summarize the various treatment methods for reducing jaundice in the elderly patients with malignant obstructive jaundice (MOJ), and provide reference for the treatment of elderly MOJ.MethodUsing “malignant obstructive jaundice” as the Chinese keyword and the English keyword, a computer search of the literatures on the treatment of elderly MOJ patients was conducted and reviewed.ResultsThe treatment methods of reducing jaundice in elderly MOJ included radical surgery, cholangiojejunostomy, endoscopic ultrasound-guided biliary drainage, endoscopic biliary stent implantation, percutaneous transhepatic biliary drainage and stent implantation. Radical surgery was the most effective, but it was traumatic and had many complications for elderly patients. Cholangiojejunostomy was effective and suitable for elderly patients who cannot tolerate major surgery. Endoscopic ultrasound-guided biliary drainage was less traumatic to elderly patients, but technical difficulty. Endoscopic biliary stent implantation was currently the first-line choice for the treatment of elderly patients with advanced MOJ. Percutaneous transhepatic biliary drainage and stent implantation were suitable for elderly and frail patients with high obstruction.ConclusionThe treatment of elderly MOJ needs to be individualized and regionalized, and appropriate treatment methods should be selected according to the patient’s condition and the medical level of the medical center.
