Comparison Between Unilateral Versus Bilateral Stenting for Malignant Hilar Biliary Obstruction to Use a LCD Stent

April 24, 2016 updated by: Kwang Hyuck Lee

Comparison Between Unilateral Versus Bilateral Stenting for Malignant Hilar Biliary Obstruction to Use a Large Cell Niti-S (LCD) Stent

Internal biliary drainage is an useful method for a control of jaundice and cholangitis to patients who had a malignant hilar obstruction due to hepatocellular carcinoma, cholangiocarcinoma, gall bladder cancer or metastatic lymphadenopathy.

Bilateral biliary drainage is more physiologic but technically difficult to compared with unilateral biliary drainage specially related to conformability and flexibility between using stents.

There are no prospective clinical trials compared with these internal biliary drainage methods in hilar malignant obstruction using metal stent.

Therefore, the investigators want to compare the clinical outcome of two method: Unilateral biliary stent and Bilateral biliary stent

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm
Intervention / Treatment
Active Comparator: Unilateral stent insertion group
the use of unilateral stent insertion in malignant hilar obstruction for using endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography(ERCP)
to use a LCD stent at an unilateral or bilateral stent insertion
Other Names:
  • Niti-S large cell D-type biliary stent [LCD]
to use ERCP for a stent insertion in an obstructive biliary tract
Active Comparator: Bilateral stent insertion group
the use of bilateral stent insertion in malignant hilar obstruction for using endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography(ERCP)
to use a LCD stent at an unilateral or bilateral stent insertion
Other Names:
  • Niti-S large cell D-type biliary stent [LCD]
to use ERCP for a stent insertion in an obstructive biliary tract
