Stent showdown: double stents may clear tough bile stones in cirrhosis patients

NCT ID NCT07337291

First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

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. Doctors placed either one or two plastic stents to help drain the bile and make stones easier to remove later. The goal was to find the best stent choice for successful stone clearance and fewer complications in these high-risk patients.
