NCT ID: NCT02166840 Completed - Clinical trials for Obstructive Jaundice

Metal or Plastic Stents to Relieve Obstruction of Obstructive Jaundice Prior to Resection of Periampullary Tumors.

SEMS
Start date: March 2007
Phase: Phase 2
Study type: Interventional

Patients with obstructive jaundice due to periampullary tumor can temporarily be relieved of their jaundice with transpapillary stenting at endoscopic retrograde cholangio-pancreatography (ERCP) prior to operation. Usually plastic stents are used. Hypothesis: Self expanding metallic stents offer a be a better alternative for preoperative stenting in patients with obstructive jaundice due to periampullary tumour obstruction.
