Hepatobiliary Pancreat Dis Int. 2016 Dec;15(6):633-639 Authors: Park JM, Lee SH, Chung KH, Jang DK, Ryu JK, Kim YT, Lee JM, Paik WH Abstract BACKGROUND: Bilateral stent-in-stent (SIS) self-expandable metal stent placement is technically challenging for palliation of unresectable malignant hilar obstruction. In the SIS technique, the uniform large cell type biliary stent facilitates contralateral stent deployment through the mesh of the first metallic stent. This study aimed to assess the technical success and clinical effectiveness of this technique with a uniform large cell…
