| Core Tip |
Endoscopic biliary drainage using a self-expandable metallic stent (SEMS) has been widely performed to treat distal malignant biliary obstruction (DMBO). However, the optimal position of the SEMS remains unclear. This study indicated that the stent patency period was significantly longer when the SEMS was placed near the biliary hilar duct. Furthermore, the placement of a longer SEMS from the biliary hilar duct was thought to overcome several factors of recurrent biliary obstruction in DMBO patients. |
