First seen May 29, 2026 · Last updated Jun 03, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This study tests whether biodegradable stents can safely open narrowed bile ducts in 20 people with primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC). The stents are placed during an endoscopic procedure and dissolve over time, aiming to improve symptoms like itching and fatigue and prevent the stricture from coming back within a year. Participants must have a high-grade stricture and no recent stent or balloon treatment.
