Stent clogging is the major limitation of palliative treatment for malignant biliary obstruction. Metal stents have much better patency than plastic stents, but are more expensive. Preliminary data suggest that the recently designed plastic (Tannenbaum) stent has better duration of patency than the polyethylene stent. This study aimed to compare the efficacy and cost effectiveness between the Tannenbaum stent without side holes and the uncovered metal stent for patients with malignant distal common bile duct obstruction.
