Effectiveness of EUS Gallbladder Drainage as Primary Therapy for Malignant Biliary Obstruction
Fully Covered Self-Expanding Metal Stents Are Safe and May Be More Durable in Distal Malignant Biliary Obstruction
It is clear that metal stents are superior to plastic stents for palliation of distal malignant biliary obstruction (dMBO). Among self-expanding metal stents (SEMS), there
