Reply to: “Potential limitations of irradiation stent implantation in unresectable malignant biliary obstruction”

We would like to thank Liu et al. for their comments on our manuscript entitled “Irradiation stents vs. conventional metal stents for unresectable malignant biliary obstruction: a multicenter trial”.1 This manuscript reported a large-sample randomized trial to compare the irradiation stent with the uncovered self-expandable metallic stent for unresectable malignant biliary obstruction (MBO) at 20 centers in China. Liu et al. delivered criticisms concerning technical deficiency and a small portion of pathological diagnosis.
