Expandable stents, particularly those with wider mesh, show promise for benign biliary strictures. This study presents data on Wallstent use for these conditions, suggesting potential long-term benefits.

Area of Science:

  • Gastroenterology and Hepatology
  • Interventional Endoscopy

Background:

  • Endoscopic stent placement is a standard treatment for biliary strictures.
  • Plastic stents are commonly used for benign biliary strictures.
  • The efficacy of permanent expandable stents for benign biliary strictures remains under investigation.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the role and long-term response of permanent expandable stents in benign biliary strictures.
  • To present data on the use of the Wallstent for benign biliary strictures.

Main Methods:

  • Review of data concerning the use of expandable stents in benign biliary strictures.
  • Focus on the performance of the Wallstent device.

Main Results:
