Abstract

Background: Malignant biliary obstruction is a frequent consequence of pancreaticobiliary cancer and is often encountered 
when cure is no longer feasible. Durable biliary decompression is essential for relief of jaundice and pruritus, prevention of 
cholangitis, preservation of hepatic function, and delivery of systemic anticancer therapy. Self-expanding metal stents (SEMS) 
have become the principal endoscopic prostheses for palliation
