Predictors of stent dysfunction in patients with bilateral metal stents for malignant hilar obstruction.
<h4>Introduction</h4>For unresectable hilar obstruction, restoring and maintaining biliary ductal patency are crucial for improved survival and quality of life. The endoscopic placement of stents is now a mainstay of its treatment, and bilateral stenting is effective for biliary decompre...
