Cholecystitis is a major complication after self‐expandable metallic stent (SEMS) placement for malignant biliary obstruction. Ischemia is one of the risk factors for cholecystitis, but little is known about the influence of tumor invasion to the feeding artery of the gallbladder on the onset of cholecystitis after SEMS placement. The aim of the present study was to identify risk factors for cholecystitis after SEMS placement.
