[A new Y-endoprosthesis for drainage of bile duct obstruction of the hepatic bifurcation].
Biliary decompression in cases of central tumorous biliary obstruction requires surgical or internal/external catheter bypass techniques. The development of a 14-F Y-shaped-polyurethane endoprosthesis stent provides the possibility to drain the left and right biliary system simultaneously. The endoprosthesis is placed by a combination of external transhepatic and endoscopic approach. The tip of the singular choledochal stent segment is placed within the choledochus or duodenum.
