Summary

This study looked at 400 people with liver cirrhosis who had large or complex bile duct stones that couldn't be removed during a first procedure. Researchers compared using one or two plastic stents to see which approach worked best for clearing the stones in a follow-up procedure and caused fewer complications. The goal was to find the safest and most effective way to manage these difficult stones in high-risk patients.
