Abstract
The nonflared ends of fully covered, self-expandable, metal stents (FCSEMSs) may minimize stent-induced ductal injury. Suprapapillary intraductal placement of nonflared FCSEMSs for malignant biliary stricture might reduce duodenobiliary reflux and pancreatitis. The aim of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of a newly modified, nonflared FCSEMS for intraductal placement in patients with malignant biliary stricture.
