| Core Tip |
This study explores the innovative use of iodine-125 seed strips combined with double self-expandable metallic stent for treating Bismuth type III and IV hilar malignant biliary obstruction. In a retrospective analysis of 17 patients from April 2017 to December 2022, we achieved a technical success rate of 94.1% and a clinical success rate of 100%. The median overall survival was 189 days, with stent patency lasting an average of 154 days. No serious complications were reported, indicating that this combination therapy is a safe and effective treatment option for these patients. |
