Core Tip	Biliary obstruction is a common problem in pancreatic malignancy. Relief of obstruction is commonly performed using endoscopic stent placement. Clinical setting determines the strategy, including whether decompression is needed and which stent type is most appropriate. Self-expanding metallic stents have longer patency than plastic stents and are preferred in most settings. When endoscopic therapy fails, percutaneous or surgical strategies may be used.
