Risk factors for acute pancreatitis post percutaneous transhepatic biliary stenting in patients with distal malignant obstruction.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Percutaneous transhepatic biliary stenting (PTBS) is an effective treatment for distal malignant biliary obstruction (MBO). Postoperative acute pancreatitis (AP) is a dangerous complication of this procedure. This study sought to investigate the risk factors for AP after PTBS.

Methods

A total of 463 patients who underwent PTBS to treat suspected MBO from October 2012 to October 2021 were enrolled in this retrospective study. Among them, 26 individuals met the diagnostic criteria for postoperative pancreatitis following PTBS. The incidence of AP at 1 month postoperatively was recorded and analyzed. Several risk factors for AP were analyzed, and the odds ratios (ORs) were calculated by univariate and multivariate logistic analyses.

Results

The incidence of AP
