Abstract
Endoscopic metallic stent (MS) placement is widely accepted as a palliative therapy in patients with unresectable malignant biliary stricture. Although stent occlusion is a major complication of MS placement, there have been few reports regarding its risk factors. The aim of this study was to investigate risk factors for stent occlusion after endoscopic MS placement in unresectable malignant biliary stricture.
