Excerpt

The majority of patients with cholangiocarcinoma present with locally unresectable disease and the median survival with radiation and chemotherapy is 7–12 months. The endoscopic palliation of inoperable hilar cholangiocarcinoma remains one of the more challenging cases for the biliary endoscopist. The endoscopist must define the anatomy without injecting contrast into ducts that will not be drained, achieve guide-wire access for unilateral or bilateral stent placement and determine what type of stent—plastic or self-expanding metal (SEMS), will best serve the patient to relieve pain and jaundice and prevent cholangitis. …
