  • Title: Stenting for Benign and Malignant Biliary Strictures.
    Author: Bill JG, Mullady DK.
    Journal: Gastrointest Endosc Clin N Am; 2019 Apr; 29(2):215-235. PubMed ID: 30846150.
    Abstract:
    Benign and malignant biliary strictures are common indications for endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography. Diagnosis involves high-quality cross-sectional imaging and cholangiography with various endoscopic sampling techniques. Treatment options include placement of plastic biliary stents and self-expanding metal stents, which differ in patency duration and cost effectiveness. Whether the etiology is benign or malignant, a multidisciplinary strategy should be implemented. This article will discuss general principles of biliary stenting in both benign and malignant conditions.
