DOI: 10.1055/s-0042-124498
Abstract: Endoscopic management of biliary stricture generally requires dilation using devices such as an endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) balloon dilation catheter before stenting [1]. Endoscopic ultrasonography (EUS)guided biliary drainage (EUS-BD) also requires fistula dilation before stenting.… read more here.
