Insertion of biliary stents in cases of malignant biliary obstruction is a widely accepted method to resolve jaundice. The authors applied two 10 French biliary teflon stents to prolong the drain patency in 32 patients with distal malignant obstruction, thought to be inoperable at the time of intervention. Among the followed, inoperable 23 cases 14 patients died for the time of evaluation. The median survival was 150 days, the median drain patency was 99 days. Cholangitis was the cause of death in three patients. Repeated endoscopic interventions were: transient nasobiliary drainage without drain replacement in two patients and four changes of stents in three patients. In the 13 patients, surviving and wearing their drains at least for 100 days the patency of the double drains was 157 days. These results obtained in the long-time survivors support the comparability of the patency of double teflon stent to that of metalstents. In majority of cases the two teflon drains remained patent until the deaths of patients.
