Scheduled Inside Plastic Stent Exchange Prevents Cholangitis and Reduces Unplanned Hospitalization in Patients With Unresectable Malignant Hilar Biliary Obstruction. [PDF]

open access: yesDEN Open
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.

Covered Self‐Expanding Metal Stents Versus Multiple Plastic Stents in Treating Biliary Strictures Post‐Orthotopic Liver Transplantation: A Systematic Review and Meta‐Analysis of Randomized Controlled Trials

open access: yesDEN Open, Volume 6, Issue 1, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Objectives Anastomotic biliary strictures are a common complication following orthotopic liver transplantation (post‐OLT), impacting morbidity and graft survival. This meta‐analysis evaluates the efficacy, safety, and cost‐effectiveness of covered self‐expanding metal stents (cSEMS) versus multiple plastic stents (MPS) for treating post‐OLT ...

Prevention of Adverse Events in Endoscopic Ultrasound‐Guided Biliary Drainage

open access: yesDEN Open, Volume 6, Issue 1, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Endoscopic ultrasound‐guided biliary drainage (EUS‐BD) is used when biliary drainage using endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography fails. Recently, it has been adopted as a primary biliary drainage method, and its indications have expanded.
