Core Tip	Taking into account quality of life, percutaneous transhepatic biliary drainage is normally carried out as a first choice endoscopic biliary stenting in recent years. The resulting prolonged survival time was observed as significantly different when the non-successful group was compared to the successful group. Obstructive jaundice caused by hepatocellular carcinoma is a complex disease state; therefore endoscopic biliary stenting should be investigated from a different viewpoint from that of biliary drainage performed for other malignant biliary obstructions, such as bile duct carcinoma.
