Stents…stents…stents! Biliary and Pancreatic Stents for ERCP!
Theoretically, all stents provide drainage and ductal decompression, whether they are in the bile duct or the pancreatic duct. A "good" stent is one that is easy to deploy, with minimal risk of malfunction, and that is resistant to clogging by bacterial biofilm, stone or sludge particles, or enteric contents.
