Covered vs Uncovered Metal Stents for Palliative Biliary Decompression in Inoperable Malignant Distal Bile Duct Obstruction

Not Applicable

Completed

• Conditions: Distal Bile Duct Obstruction

• Registration Number: NCT01905384
• Lead Sponsor: Vanderbilt University Medical Center

Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is to compare the rate of long-term stent failure, defined as need for repeat biliary intervention following placement of C-SEMS vs U-SEMS for palliation of inoperable malignant distal bile duct obstruction.

Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
