Comparing Covered Self-expandable Metallic Stent (SEMS) Above/Across the Sphincter of Oddi

October 19, 2016 updated by: Jong Taek, Lee, Taewoong Medical Co., Ltd.

Prospective Randomized Trial Comparing Covered Metal Stents Placed Above and Across the Sphincter of Oddi in Malignant Biliary Obstruction: A Multi-nation, Multi-center Study

The purpose of this prospective, randomized multicenter study is to determine whether there is any difference in stent patency of covered metallic stents in terms of stent positioning, above and across the sphincter of Oddi, in malignant bile duct obstruction.

Design Details

  • Primary Purpose: SUPPORTIVE_CARE
  • Allocation: RANDOMIZED
  • Interventional Model: SINGLE_GROUP
  • Masking: SINGLE

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm
Intervention / Treatment
ACTIVE_COMPARATOR: Group A: C-SEMS, inserted above SO
-In group A, SO should be preserved without sphincterotomy, but small infundibulotomy with needle knife can be accepted for cannulation.
The stent is made of Nitinol wire. It is a flexible, fine mesh tubular prosthesis and it has 10 radiopaque markers; 4 in each end and 2 in the center.
Other Names:
  • PTFE Covered ComVi [full covered] Biliary Stent, Taewoong Medical, Korea
ACTIVE_COMPARATOR: Group B: C-SEMS, inserted across SO
-In group B, small sphincterotomy (50% incision) will be done after biliary cannulation.
The stent is made of Nitinol wire. It is a flexible, fine mesh tubular prosthesis and it has 10 radiopaque markers; 4 in each end and 2 in the center.
