Distinguishing benign from malignant biliary strictures with routine biliary cytology in this population is challenging.

We analyzed 29 patients in whom bile duct stenting was performed for malignant biliary obstruction.

This paper gives an overview of experience and success of percutaneous transhepatic interventions in malignant biliary obstruction.

Conclusions: Endobiliary sampling is technically difficult and has a limited sensitivity for the diagnosis of malignant biliary stenosis.

Combined endoscopic biliary and duodenal stent-in-stent placement is a promising solution for the palliation of malignant biliary and duodenal obstruction.

It achieves biliary drainage with an acceptable risk to benefit ratio in the majority of patients with distal malignant biliary obstruction.

The role of ERCP and endoscopic drainage in the diagnosis and treatment of patients with malignant biliary obstruction is well established.
