Complications of biliary stents in obstructive pancreatic malignancies. A case report and review
1Washington Hospital Center, Department of Surgery, Washington, DC.
Abstract:
Biliary stents have become a common palliative measure in the treatment of unresectable obstructive pancreatic cancer. Survival after endoscopic stenting rivals that of surgical bypass.
