A Comparative Study of Self-Expandable Metallic Stent Combined with Double 125I Seeds Strands or Single 125I Seeds Strand in the Treatment of Advanced Perihilar Cholangiocarcinoma with Malignant Obstructive Jaundice.

This interim analysis showed that BBDC (double-stranded irradiation) can prolong the stent patency time compared with 125I seed strand treatment (single-stranded irradiation) and had the advantage of reducing jaundice, which seemed to extend the survival period of advanced pCCA.
