Factors related to stent patency and early elimination of jaundice using bile duct stent combined with iodine-125 seed implantation in malignant obstructive jaundice
Abstract:Purpose
Biliary stents combined with percutaneous or endoscopic ultrasound-guided iodine-125 seed implantation into primary tumor have been confirmed to relieve malignant obstructive jaundice (MOJ), and prolong patient’s stent patency. The aim of the study was to evaluate meaningful clinical application indications and better guide the application of this technology.
Material and methods
Patients with MOJ, who have received bile duct stenting combined with iodine-125 (
