Evaluation of the Feasibility and Effectiveness of Placement of Fully Covered Self-Expandable Metallic Stents via Various Insertion Routes for Benign Biliary Strictures.

FCSEMS placement for refractory BBS via various insertion routes was feasible and effective. FCSEMSs should be exchanged every 6 months until stricture resolution because of stent durability. Further prospective study for confirmation is required, particularly regarding EUS-guided FCSEMS placement.
