DOI: 10.1038/s41598-020-70183-y
Abstract: The use of a plastic stent (PS) in resectable patients with distal malignant biliary obstruction (DMBO) is uncommon due to the high failure rate of this method. This study evaluated the efficacy and safety of… read more here.

DOI: 10.1155/2019/9675347
Abstract: Background/Aims Endoscopic sphincterotomy (EST) is often performed before fully covered self-expandable metal stent (FCSEMS) placement in order to prevent pancreatitis. However, it is not clear whether EST prevents pancreatitis or affects other adverse events (AEs).… read more here.

DOI: 10.3390/cancers14133291
Abstract: Simple Summary With the widespread use of EUS-guided procedures, several methods are available in order to achieve biliary drainage when endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) fails. Together with the well established role of percutaneous trans-hepatic biliary… read more here.
