Stenosis of the Bilio-biliary Anastomosis After Orthotopic Liver Transplantation Clinical Trial
Official title:
Comparison of Use of Covered, Self-expandable Metal Stents (cSEMS) and Non-expandable Plastic Stents (NEPS) in Temporary Endoscopic Treatment of Stenosis of the Bilio-biliary Anastomosis After Liver Transplantation
Stenosis at the bilio-biliary anastomosis occurs in up to 30% of patients after orthotopic liver transplantation. This study compares endoscopic treatment with implantation of multiple plastic endoprostheses vs. use of a removable, covered self-expandable metal stent (cSEMS).
This is a multi-center randomised trial. ;
