Comparison Between Unilateral Versus Bilateral Stenting for Malignant Hilar Biliary Obstruction to Use a LCD Stent
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
Internal biliary drainage is an useful method for a control of jaundice and cholangitis to patients who had a malignant hilar obstruction due to hepatocellular carcinoma, cholangiocarcinoma, gall bladder cancer or metastatic lymphadenopathy.
Bilateral biliary drainage is more physiologic but technically difficult to compared with unilateral biliary drainage specially related to conformability and flexibility between using stents.
There are no prospective clinical trials compared with these internal biliary drainage methods in hilar malignant obstruction using metal stent.
Therefore, the investigators want to compare the clinical outcome of two method: Unilateral biliary stent and Bilateral biliary stent

Active Comparator: Unilateral stent insertion group the use of unilateral stent insertion in malignant hilar obstruction for using endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography(ERCP) |
Device: stent insertion
to use a LCD stent at an unilateral or bilateral stent insertion
Other Names:
Procedure: Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatoscopy(ERCP)
to use ERCP for a stent insertion in an obstructive biliary tract

Active Comparator: Bilateral stent insertion group the use of bilateral stent insertion in malignant hilar obstruction for using endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography(ERCP) |
Device: stent insertion
to use a LCD stent at an unilateral or bilateral stent insertion

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- Stent patency [up to 1year]
Participants will followed for the new obstruction(new jaundice) will occur.
Secondary Outcome Measures
- survival period [up to 1year]
Participants will followed for 1year.
Other Outcome Measures
- complication [up to 1year]
Participants will followed after stent insertion and observe a complication rate between two groups.
