“…The Archimedes stent is a novel biodegradable stent that shows promise for use in a range of surgical procedures, including liver transplantation and pancreaticoduodenectomy. Its use can help prevent bile leakage and improve patient outcomes[ 120 , 121 ]. A drug-eluting stent is a stent that has been coated with a medication that slowly releases over time.…”

Obstructive jaundice (OJ) is a common problem in daily clinical practice. However, completely understanding the pathophysiological changes in OJ remains a challenge for planning current and future management. The effects of OJ are widespread, affecting the biliary tree, hepatic cells, liver function, and causing systemic complications. The lack of bile in the intestine, destruction of the intestinal mucosal barrier, and increased absorption of endotoxins can lead to endotoxemia, production of proinflammatory cytokines, and induce systemic inflammatory response syndrome, ultimately leading to multiple organ dysfunction syndrome. Proper management of OJ includes adequate water supply and electrolyte replacement, nutritional support, preventive antibiotics, pain relief, and itching relief. The surgical treatment of OJ depends on the cause, location, and severity of the obstruction. Biliary drainage, surgery, and endoscopic intervention are potential treatment options depending on the patient's condition. In addition to modern medical treatments, Traditional Chinese medicine may offer therapeutic benefits for OJ. A comprehensive search was conducted on PubMed for relevant articles published up to August 1970. This review discusses in detail the pathophysiological changes associated with OJ and presents effective strategies for managing the condition.

“…Stents are available in three outer diameters (2 mm [6 Fr], 2.6 mm [8 Fr], and 3.4 mm [10 Fr]) and various lengths (ranging from 4 to 22.5 cm). Different polymeric compositions allow for three degradation profiles (fast [12 days], medium [20 days], and slow [11 weeks]) [8 , 13] . In a prospective pilot study by Anderloni et al., endoscopic placement of these BPB stents was successful in a variety of indications, with a promising safety profile.…”
