| Core Tip |
We studied 17 patients with Benign Biliary Strictures (BBS) (n = 12) and bile leaks (n = 5) from July 2007 to February 2012 that had fully covered self-expanding metal stents (FCSEMs) placed. Twelve of 17 patients had failed prior stent placement or exchange. After a median stent time of 63 d, we found 16 of 17 patients (94%) had complete resolution of biliary strictures and bile leaks. We reported complications in 5 of 17 patients (29%) which included: migration (n = 2), stent clogging (n = 1), cholangitis (n = 1), and sepsis with hepatic abscess (n = 1). |
