Randomized controlled exploratory study comparing the usefulness of two types of metallic stents with different axial forces for the management of duodenal obstruction caused by pancreatobiliary cancer

摘要

BackgroundVery few studies have examined effectiveness of duodenal stent placement (DSP) for duodenal obstruction (DO) caused specifically by pancreatobiliary cancer. We compared two types of stents with different axial forces (AF) for DO with pancreatobiliary cancer.
