Implication

Randomized trial demonstrates improved bile duct drainage in patients with malignant hilar biliary obstruction, suggesting enhanced treatment options.

Key Points

The aim is to evaluate the effectiveness of tri-side-by-side deployment of fully covered self-expandable metal stents in alleviating malignant hilar biliary obstruction.
A 68-year-old man with obstructive jaundice underwent tri-SBS technique for stent deployment.
Self-expandable metal stents with spiral-grooved surfaces were used.
Cholangiography confirmed bile duct obstruction before stent placement.
Successful deployment of the FCSEMS without adverse events was achieved.
No bile duct branch obstruction was observed post-deployment on computed tomography.
The patient experienced no stent dysfunction during the 6-month follow-up.
