| Core Tip |
This study compared the clinical efficacy of fully covered self-expandable metal stents and plastic stents in patients with difficult bile duct stones following unsuccessful initial endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP). In this retrospective single-center cohort, propensity score matching minimized selection bias and ensured baseline comparability. Residual stone rates at second-look ERCP were lower in the metal stent group. Re-intervention and repeat stenting were also reduced, while complication rates were similar between groups. Multivariate analysis identified metal stent placement as an independent predictor of ductal clearance. Temporary metal stent placement appears safe and clinically beneficial. |
