Novel concept of bared type metallic stent for endoscopic bilateral stent ‐in‐stent placement in patients with hilar malignant biliary obstruction (with video)

AbstractFor endoscopic bilateral stent ‐in‐stent placement (SIS) of self‐expandable metal stents (SEMSs) in patients with hilar malignant biliary obstruction (hMBO), increase in the degree of bend in the bile duct stricture may create a gap between the guide wire (GW) and cause the delivery tip to be caught in the mesh of the init ially inserted SEMS, leading to failure.
