Comparison of Metal and Plastic Stents for Preoperative Biliary Decompression

NCT01191814 · Status: COMPLETED · Phase: NA · Type: INTERVENTIONAL · Enrollment: 61

Last updated 2023-07-12

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

Covered self expandable metal stents (CSEMS) are three times larger in diameter than 10 Fr plastic stents. When compared to plastic stents, randomized trials have shown longer patency and fewer stent-related complications for CSEMS. The investigators hypothesize that placement of CSEMS would be a better treatment option for preoperative biliary decompression in patients with pancreatic cancer.
