About this study
Official title: A Prospective Study: Magnetic Compression Anastomosis for Recanalization of Biliary Stricture
Biliary stricture is a common complication after end-to-end biliary anastomosis, especially after liver transplantation. This study is designed to investigate the safety and efficacy of magnetic recanalization technique, a newly clinical method, for treating biliary anastomotic stricture.
Read the detailed description
Biliary anastomotic stricture is a common complication of after end-to-end biliary anastomosis. Magnetic recanalization is a promising way to establish connection of biliary tract after stenosis or completed obstruction. This study is designed to investigate the safety and efficacy of magnetic recanalization among patients with severe biliary stricture after biliary anastmosis. Patients who failed to undergo stent placement with endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancretography (ERCP) would be enrolled for magnetic recanalization treatment. Magnetic treatment will be implemented by several steps. Firstly, placement of one magnet through the sinus of percutaneous transhepatic cholangio drainage (PTCD) in upper part of the bile duct; Second, introduction of another magnet via ERCP into the distal part of the bile duct, and making them be mated together; Third, after necrosis of the tissue between the two magnets, the magnets will drop off and be taken out together through the thread connected with them out of the mouth. Last, a plastic stent should be placed in the bile duct for a lasting support. The time of recanalization (drop off of the magnets), and adverse events (e.g. fever, melena, nausea, vomiting, anorexia, hematemesis, abdominal pain, and gastrointestinal bleeding) will be recorded, and each patient will be followed up for long-term outcomes.

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
Magnetic recanalizationProcedure or surgery
- Establish a percutaneous transhepatic cholangio drainage (PTCD) fistula.
- Perform endoscopic sphincterotomy (EST).
- Place one magnet above the stricture through the PTCD fistula.
- Introduce another magnet below the stricture through the common bile duct with ERCP.
- Place the magnets at the appropriate point to attract each other.
- The patient will be strictly followed, and the magnets will be taken out out of the mouth by the thread connected with the magnets.
- A plastic stent will be placed in the bile duct for lasting support.

What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Time duration of biliary recanalization, d (days)
Time period for recanalization of the bile duct
Measured: From date of treatment (two magnets mated together) until the date of drop-off or the two magnets from the biliary tract or date of death from any cause, whichever came first, assessed up to 12 months
Secondary outcomes (1)
Incidence of stricture recurrence
Incidence of biliary stricture recurrence after magnetic recanalization treatment
Measured: From date of drop-off of the two magnets until the date of biliary stricture recurrence or end of the follow-up or date of death from any cause, whichever came first, assessed up to 12 months
