Background Endoluminal radiofrequency ablation (RFA) has been promoted as palliative treatment for patients with cholangiocarcinoma (CCA) and pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) in order to improve biliary drainage eventually prolong survival. No high level evidence is, however, available on this technique. Design In randomised controlled study, we compared endoluminal RFA plus stenting alone (control group) malignant obstruction; metal stents were primarily placed. Primary outcome was...
Radiofrequency ablation (RFA) is a mini-invasive loco-regional technique that increasingly being used as palliative treatment for pancreatic cancer and cholangiocarcinoma. Ablation-triggered immune system stimulation has been proposed mechanism behind the systemic effects of RFA. The aim our study was to investigate response endoluminal biliary Peripheral blood samples were collected from patients with cholangiocarcinoma randomised receive radiofrequency + stent (19 patients) or only (21...
BACKGROUND Acute pancreatitis (AP) is a relatively rare but serious complication that can occur after organ transplantation. MATERIAL AND METHODS The aim of this study was to evaluate the incidence, potential risk factors, and course AP in patients following liver transplantation at single large-volume transplant center. RESULTS Out total 1850 transplanted patients, 49 (2.8%) were diagnosed with AP. Of group, 37 (75.5%) had mild form 12 (24.5%) severe mortality rate 10% overall 42% group An...
