Core Tip	Despite the short life expectancies of patients with biliary tract cancers, biliary stenting suffers from high stent re-obstruction rates, provoking unneeded costs, morbidity and mortality. Drug eluting stents offer the possibility of decreasing stent failure rates from both biliary stent clogging, and external obstruction from tumor and epithelial ingrowth. In this inclusive review we outline the current body of experimental literature on drug eluting stents including bench, animal and human trials, and discuss possible targets for future research.
