We aimed to determine the ideal stent choice in patients with MHO. In this retrospective study, patients with unresectable MHO were separated into the plastic stent (PS) group and the self-expandable metal stent (SEMS) group. The primary outcome was the risk and rate of rescue percutaneous transhepatic biliary drainage (PTBD). The secondary outcomes were the progression-free survival, the overall survival and the PTBD-free period (days). Thirty-six patients in the PS group and 38 patients in the SEMS group were enrolled. The risk for PTBD was higher in SEMS group (HR\u2009=\u20092.205, 95% C.I. 0.977\u20134.977, P\u2009=\u20090.057). The rate of PTBD was significantly lower in the PS group. (22.2% vs 50.0%, P\u2009=\u20090.017) There were no differences in overall survival and progression-free survival (410 and 269 in the PS group, 395 and 266 in the SEMS group, P\u2009=\u20090.663 and P\u2009=\u20090.757). The PTBD-free period was significantly longer in the PS group. (836.43 vs 586.40, P\u2009=\u20090.039) Although comparable in clinical efficacy, utilization of PS at index ERCP may reduce patient\u2019s discomfort by avoiding PTBD and prolonging PTBD-free period in patients with MHO.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1038\/s41598-019-48384-x","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2019,9,13]],"date-time":"2019-09-13T06:03:52Z","timestamp":1568354632000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1007\/springer_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":17,"title":["Step-wise endoscopic approach to palliative bilateral biliary drainage for unresectable advanced malignant hilar obstruction"],"prefix":"10.1038","volume":"9","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-2758-1370","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Jin Ho","family":"Choi","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Sang Hyub","family":"Lee","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Min Su","family":"You","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Bang-sup","family":"Shin","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Young Hoon","family":"Choi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-6510-4850","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Jinwoo","family":"Kang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Sunguk","family":"Jang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Woo Hyun","family":"Paik","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Ji Kon","family":"Ryu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Yong-Tae","family":"Kim","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"297","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2019,9,13]]},"reference":[{"key":"48384_CR1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"134","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jamcollsurg.2008.09.007","volume":"208","author":"M Aljiffry","year":"2009","unstructured":"Aljiffry, M. et al.
