Cancer near the liver's bile duct junction can block bile flow, causing jaundice and infection. Doctors usually drain the bile with a plastic stent placed through an endoscope. This trial randomly assigns about 70 adults with inoperable high-grade hilar biliary obstruction to one…

This study tests a special oxygen tube placed in the mouth during a procedure called ERCP, which is used to treat bile duct and pancreas problems. The goal is to see if this method can prevent low oxygen levels that often happen when patients are deeply sedated. About 410 adults …

This trial looks at whether keeping or removing a drainage tube (PTCD catheter) during pancreatic surgery leads to fewer complications. About 100 patients with jaundice from tumors will be randomly assigned to one of two groups. The main goal is to see which approach reduces seri…

This study looks at 100 adults with obstructive jaundice to see if the type of anesthesia used during a procedure called ERCP affects how well it works and how safe it is. The goal is to find out which anesthesia leads to better success rates, fewer complications, and higher sati…

This study looks at 140 adults who need a plastic stent to open a blocked bile duct. If their bile has bacteria, they are randomly assigned to have the stent replaced after 1 month instead of the usual 3 months. The goal is to see if earlier replacement lowers the chance of the s…
