“…This case series demonstrates that plastic stent placement via PTBD may be considered a treatment option when the endoscopic approach is not feasible or has failed. 5 PTBD is mainly performed for two clinical indications: (1) before surgery to relieve biliary obstruction and subsequent cholestasis since improved survival has been documented 6,7 and (2) as a palliative procedure with the goal of decreasing the bilirubin levels to improve the patient's quality of life. 8 Compared with ERCP, the use of PTBD is advantageous because it can target a specific duct to maximize the drainage of functional parenchyma.…”

The aim of this study is to describe the technical procedure, patency, and complications of percutaneous biliary plastic stent insertion following failure of the endoscopic approach. The data from 11 patients who underwent percutaneous plastic biliary stent placement following endoscopic approach failure between March 2022 and December 2023 were retrospectively evaluated. Stent placement was successful in all patients. Reduction of the total serum bilirubin level was achieved in all patients. No major complications occurred in all patients. A plastic stent provided enough drainage for patients with patency in our studies for up to 5 months.
