This article, published in the journal Endoscopy, examines the impact of temperature-controlled endobiliary radiofrequency ablation (RFA) on biliary drainage in patients with inoperable hilar cholangiocarcinoma (CCA). The study compared outcomes between patients who underwent RFA with biliary stenting and those who only received stenting. The results showed that RFA+stent group had a longer median time to recurrent biliary obstruction (RBO) compared to the stent-only group. The overall survival (OS) rates were similar between the two groups, and the rates of adverse events (AEs) were comparable as well. The study concludes that temperature-controlled endobiliary RFA can improve stent patency without increasing AEs in patients with inoperable hilar CCA. However, it did not significantly increase OS.
