| Core Tip |
Bile duct or pancreatic malignancies that result in malignant distal biliary obstruction (MDBO) often as associated with a poor prognosis. Currently, palliative treatment via endoscopic biliary drainage is considered the treatment of choice for unresectable or inoperable MDBO. In this systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials, we compared the efficacy and safety of plastic stent (PS) vs self-expanding metal stent (SEMS) placement. We concluded that SEMS placement possessed a longer duration of patency, lower rate of reintervention, and lower rate of stent dysfunction compared to PS in patients with MDBO. There was no difference in outcomes of clinical success, mean patient survival, and overall adverse events. |
