Double bare metal stent deployment combined with intraductal radiofrequency ablation for malignant distal biliary obstruction: a prospective pilot study

Abstract Although uncovered self-expandable metal stents (SEMSs) possess certain advantages such as averting cystic duct obstruction and stent migration, they are susceptible to ingrowth occlusion. The combination of the double bare stent (DBS) and endobiliary radiofrequency ablation (RFA) may reduc...
