Efficacy and Safety of a 6‐Month Placement of a Fully Covered Self‐Expanding Metal Stent for Refractory or Recurrent Hepaticojejunostomy Anastomotic Stricture via Balloon Enteroscopy‐Assisted Endoscopic Retrograde Cholangiopancreatography

open access: yesDEN Open, Volume 6, Issue 1, April 2026.
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 ...

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

open access: yesDEN Open, Volume 6, Issue 1, April 2026.
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.
