Transhepatic placement of an enteral stent to treat jaundice in a tumor recurrence obstructed afferent loop after a whipple procedure.

Tumour recurrence that obstructs the afferent limb, blocking outflow of bile and pancreatic juice, constitutes a major clinical problem after a Whipple procedure. The endoscopic route is often not a possible alternative. Surgery may be difficult and perhaps dangerous to the often very sick patient and decompression with fine bore catheters may lead to cholangitis. External drainage is inconvenient to the patient. The present case describes a less invasive method to provide adequate drainage of the obstructed jejunal limb by insertion of a 22-mm enteral Wallstent transhepatically. The patient became and stayed anicteric during 7 months' follow-up.

A flow rate cut-off value as a criterion for the accurate non-invasive measurement of bladder pressure using a condom-type catheter.

We developed a condom-type catheter to non-invasively measure the bladder pressure during interruption of the flow rate. The aim of the present study was to establish a minimum flow rate value at which a reliable bladder pressure measurement can be made with this catheter. We reanalysed data from 43 patients who completed a pressure-flow study and a non-invasive test. The patients voided without straining. During the test, we simultaneously measured the bladder pressure (invasively) and the condom pressure (non-invasively). The pressure increase in the condom after interruption of the flow rate was analysed in 40 of the 43 patients. A plot of the difference between the bladder pressure and the maximum condom pressure as a function of the flow rate revealed that in 70% of the patients who voided with a maximum flow rate exceeding 5.4 ml/s, the condom pressure accurately reflected the bladder pressure (+/-14 cmH2O). We conclude that to accurately and non-invasively measure the bladder pressure with a condom-type catheter, the maximum flow rate should exceed 5.4 ml/s.
