Brief Summary
The purpose of this study was to compare the difference in the stent patency duration between side-by-side fully covered self-expanding metal stents (SEMS) and side-by-side plastic stents in patients with malignant hilar biliary obstruction.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (1)
Duration of stent patency
The period from the insertion of the stent to the point at which stent revision is required.
9 months after randomization.
Study Arms (2)
FCSEMS
EXPERIMENTALIn patients with malignant hilar biliary obstruction, endoscopic drainage is performed for biliary drainage. Since intrahepatic bile ducts are separated, it is preferable to insert a stent into bilateral intrahepatic bile ducts for bile drainage if possible. In FCSEMS group, patients are inserted with Fully covered self-expandable metal stent (FCSEMS) bilaterally for malignant hilar biliary stricture via endoscopic retrograde cholangio-pancreatography.
Plastic stent
ACTIVE COMPARATORIn patients with malignant hilar biliary obstruction, endoscopic drainage is performed for biliary drainage. Since intrahepatic bile ducts are separated, it is preferable to insert a stent into bilateral intrahepatic bile ducts for bile drainage if possible. In plastic stent group, patients are inserted with plastic stents bilaterally for malignant hilar biliary stricture.
Interventions
In patients who were identified to have malignant hilar biliary obstruction, bilateral stents insertion is attempted via ERCP. There will be two groups divided by stent material; FCSEMS and Plastic stent.
Eligibility Criteria
You may qualify if:
- Unresectable malignant hilar biliary stricture requiring biliary drainage through endoscopic procedure
You may not qualify if:
- If endoscopy is not possible based on the judgement of the researcher
- Life expectancy less than 6 months
- Acute cholecystitis
- Previous history of percutaneous transhepatic biliary drainage
- Previous history of metal stent placement for malignant biliary stricture
