A Randomized Trial Comparing the Uncovered to the Covered Wallstent in the Palliation of Malignant Bile Duct Strictures
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Partially Covered Wallstent and Uncovered Wallstent for Inoperable Tumors of the Bile Duct. Completed, enrolled 129 participants.
Detailed Summary
The purpose of the study is to determine the best management of bile duct narrowing (stricture) due to inoperable tumors. The bile duct is a tube that carries bile formed in the liver to the small bowel to digest fats. Tumors around the bile duct can compress the duct causing pain, jaundice (yellow skin and eyes), itchy skin and fever.
