The technical success rate of PTE-RV was 95.2%, but 19% of cases experienced adverse events with a 9.5% mortality rate within 30 days post-procedure. The study demonstrates that performing PTE-RV in a single session is feasible with an acceptable level of risk.
Purpose To demonstrate the feasibility and safety of PTE-RV performed in a single session. Materials and methods This is a retrospective review of a prospective database on ERCP between January 2014 and December 2018. PTE-RV was performed in case of second ERCP failure. Technical success was defined as the establishment of an intestinal access to the biliary tract using a PTE-RV procedure allowing an immediate internal biliary drainage. Safety endpoints included intra-operative complications, morbidity and mortality occurring within 30 days after the procedure. Results Eighty-four patients (44 M/40F) with a median age of 69 years (range 40-91 years) underwent combined PTE-RV. The PTE-RVs were successfully performed in the same session in 80 subjects, resulting in an overall technical success rate of 95.2%. Adverse events were observed in 19% (16/84) of cases. The mortality rate within 30 days after the procedure was 9.5%. Conclusion Percutaneous transhepatic-endoscopic rendezvous technique is feasible in a single session with acceptable level of risk. A randomized trial is required to compare EUBD and PTE-RV.
