Endoscopic biliary stenting is the most widely accepted procedure for the management of symptomatic biliary obstruction. In cases of unresectable malignant distal biliary obstruction (UMDBO), stent placement plays a key role in maintaining biliary flow and in improving prognosis and quality of life. Self-expandable metallic stents (SEMSs) have been used widely in patients with UMDBO because SEMSs give rise to longer stent patency than that of plastic stents (PSs).
