Guest guest Posted June 18, 2004 Report Share Posted June 18, 2004 I can't find something like that. I find plenty of information to the contrary, however. From http://www.blackwell-synergy.com/links/doi/10.1034/j.1600-0455.2003.00043.x/abs/ ( "The long-term success rate obtained in 72% of this series confirms that percutaneous bile duct dilation is a valid alternative to surgery without being burdened by complications; the procedure is also a valid alternative to the approach using endoscopic stents." From http://www.blackwell-synergy.com/links/doi/10.1111/j.1572-0241.2004.04106.x/abs/ (maybe this is it?). "Cholestasis in patients with PSC does not seem to be related to the presence of DS. Endoscopic therapy of DS should not be routinely undertaken and randomized studies are needed to clarify its potential benefits." From http://www-east.elsevier.com/ajg/issues/9409/ajg1354edi.htm (1999 study) "Endoscopic dilation, with or without short term stent placement, appears to be a reasonable approach to the management of a symptomatic dominant biliary strictures in PSC." From http://www.pscf.org/faq.html "Dominant strictures developing in patients with PSC often are successfully treated with percutaneous balloon dilatation and long-term stenting." I'll keep looking Arne53 - UC 9/77 - PSC 4/00Alive and (mostly) well in Minnesota From: Maureen White brian (or anyone else in the group), is there any way you can post that article to this group? thanks, maureen From: Bisaillon By the way, I forgot to mention that I read a recent research report from the Mayo Clinic that stated that long-term stenting dramatically reduced survival rates in PSC patients.

Guest guest Posted June 23, 2004 Report Share Posted June 23, 2004 I can try to find the URL. To the best of my knowledge you have to pay for those research reports but I found a direct link to it without having to buy it. It may no longer exist. I will try though. -----Original Message-----From: Maureen White Sent: June 18, 2004 7:38 PMTo: Subject: brian -- re: STENTING brian (or anyone else in the group), is there any way you can post that article to this group? thanks, maureen -----Original Message-----From: Bisaillon Sent: Friday, June 18, 2004 3:51 PMTo: Subject: RE: NEED INFO ON STENTING By the way, I forgot to mention that I read a recent research report from the Mayo Clinic that stated that long-term stenting dramatically reduced survival rates in PSC patients. ---Incoming mail is certified Virus Free.Checked by AVG anti-virus system (http://www.grisoft.com).Version: 6.0.707 / Virus Database: 463 - Release Date: 15/06/2004 --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free.

Guest guest Posted June 23, 2004 Report Share Posted June 23, 2004 I'm going to post a new message with the subject Research Reports. Check it out... I was not able to find the article to prove that long-term stenting dramatically reduced survival rates in PSC patients. My guess is that what I really read was that survival rates were lower in patients with cancer and cirrhosis when it came to long-term stenting. They suggested transplantation instead. -----Original Message-----From: Maureen White Sent: June 18, 2004 7:38 PMTo: Subject: brian -- re: STENTING brian (or anyone else in the group), is there any way you can post that article to this group? thanks, maureen -----Original Message-----From: Bisaillon Sent: Friday, June 18, 2004 3:51 PMTo: Subject: RE: NEED INFO ON STENTING By the way, I forgot to mention that I read a recent research report from the Mayo Clinic that stated that long-term stenting dramatically reduced survival rates in PSC patients. ---Incoming mail is certified Virus Free.Checked by AVG anti-virus system (http://www.grisoft.com).Version: 6.0.707 / Virus Database: 463 - Release Date: 15/06/2004 --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free.
