ABSTRACT Background Covered self‐expandable metal stents (SEMS) are the standard for managing unresectable distal malignant biliary obstruction (DMBO), as they prolong the time to recurrent biliary obstruction (TRBO). However, fully covered SEMS (FCSEMS) increases the risk of cholecystitis and pancreatitis.

ABSTRACT Objectives Balloon enteroscopy‐assisted endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (BE‐assisted ERCP) is performed for hepaticojejunostomy anastomotic stricture (HJAS) after biliary‐enteric anastomosis. Although endoscopic balloon dilation (EBD) and plastic stent (PS) placement are commonly performed, they result in high recurrence rates ...

Abstract A 70‐year‐old male with lung cancer and interstitial pneumonia was diagnosed with ampullary carcinoma, causing obstructive jaundice. After the failure of endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography, endoscopic ultrasound‐guided hepaticogastrostomy (EUS‐HGS) was performed with a 7‐Fr plastic stent (PS) into the B2 bile duct.

ABSTRACT Objective To evaluate the effectiveness of spontaneously dislodging biliary stent (SDBS) placement in preventing acute cholangitis after endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) in patients with asymptomatic bile duct stones. Methods This retrospective, single‐center study included 63 patients (mean age, 73 ± 11 years; 43 men) who

ABSTRACT Objectives To prevent cholangitis in patients with unresectable malignant hilar biliary obstruction (MHBO), we recently implemented scheduled inside plastic stent (IS) exchange every 2–4 months. This study aimed to evaluate whether this strategy prevents cholangitis onset and reduces unplanned hospitalizations without increasing adverse events.
