Core Tip	Treatment of Klatskin tumor remains difficult. Although brachytherapy using 125I seed strands was reported for treatment of cholangiocarcinoma, to our knowledge, the use of 125I seed strands has seldom been reported for the treatment of type Ⅳ Klatskin tumors. Herein, we describe a patient with a Bismuth type Ⅳ Klatskin tumor who was treated via the placement of two 125I seed strands and two stents in the right and left intrahepatic bile ducts, which provided both brachytherapy and biliary drainage. This technique may provide a novel method for prolonging survival in these patients.
