Placement of biliary self expanding metal stent (SEMS) is indicated when malignant common bile duct obstruction is encountered [1]. Currently, there is still controversy regarding the use of endoscopic sphincterotomy (EST) before the placement of biliary stents [2-5].
The aim of this prospective randomized, multicenter study is to investigate the role of EST before fully covered SEMS placement in patients with neoplastic biliary obstruction.
