DOI: 10.1007/s10620-017-4698-4
Abstract: BackgroundEndotherapy with plastic stent (PS) placement is the main modality for treating benign biliary strictures (BBSs). Fully covered self-expandable metal stents (FCSEMSs) are being increasingly used for BBS management, with high stricture resolution. However, traditional… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s10620-020-06169-7
Abstract: Introduction Biliary strictures are a common complication of donation after circulatory death (DCD) liver transplantation (LT) and require multiple endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) procedures. Three classification systems, based on cholangiograms, have been proposed for categorizing… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.gie.2021.08.027
Abstract: BACKGROUND AND AIMS Diagnosis and characterization of biliary strictures is challenging. The introduction of digital single-operator cholangioscopy (DSOC) allowing direct visual inspection of the lesion and targeted biopsies significantly improved the diagnostic yield in patients… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.giec.2018.12.001
Abstract: Benign and malignant biliary strictures are common indications for endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography. Diagnosis involves high-quality cross-sectional imaging and cholangiography with various endoscopic sampling techniques. Treatment options include placement of plastic biliary stents and self-expanding metal… read more here.
