Efficacy and Safety of EUS-Guided Choledochoduodenostomy Using Electrocautery-Enhanced Lumen-Apposing Metal Stents (ECE-LAMS) in the Treatment of Biliary Obstruction: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis

Background. Electrocautery-enhanced lumen-apposing metal stents (ECE-LAMS) have been newly developed to perform EUS-guided choledochoduodenostomy (EUS-CDS), but its benefits and harms remain obscure. We conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis to evaluate the efficacy and safety of EUS-CDS us...

description Background. Electrocautery-enhanced lumen-apposing metal stents (ECE-LAMS) have been newly developed to perform EUS-guided choledochoduodenostomy (EUS-CDS), but its benefits and harms remain obscure. We conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis to evaluate the efficacy and safety of EUS-CDS using ECE-LAMS. Method. In the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA), we searched PubMed, Embase, and Scopus databases through January 1, 2001, and April 27, 2020. The primary outcomes of the pooled analysis were to determine the technical success, clinical success, and overall adverse events rates. The secondary outcomes were pooled rates of short-term and long-term adverse events. Results. Six studies with 270 patients were finally included in this meta-analysis. The pooled rates of technical, clinical success, and adverse events were 95.1% (95% CI = 90.6–97.5%, I2 = 25%), 93.3% (95% CI = 87.4–96.5%, I2 = 28%), and 15.3% (95% CI = 10.6–21.6%, I2 = 13%), respectively. The pooled rates of short-term and long-term adverse events were 3.6% (95% CI = 1.3–9.6%, I2 = 0%) and 11.3% (95% CI = 7.6–16.5%, I2 = 0%), respectively. Conclusion. EUS-CDS using ECE-LAMS provides favorable outcomes in patients with biliary obstruction. It has been associated with a higher success rate and a lower rate of adverse events when compared with the biliary drainage approaches previously used. Large and randomized controlled observational studies are required to further refine the findings in the present analysis.
