Self-expandable metallic stents (EMSs) have been widely used for the palliative treatment of unresectable malignant biliary obstructions, but EMSs are often occluded owing to tumor ingrowth via the wire mesh. Currently, there is no consensus on the management of occluded EMSs. We evaluated the efficacy of a covered EMS as a second endoprosthesis in patients with an occluded EMS.
