Twelve-month Results From the Percutaneous Endoscopic Benign Biliary Laser Stricturotomy Study: A Prospective Single-Arm Pilot Trial Evaluating Safety and Efficacy
PTCS-assisted holmium laser stricturotomy is a promising new treatment for benign biliary strictures, offering durable tube-free 12-month patency with an acceptable safety profile. The Percutaneous Endoscopic Benign Biliary Laser study provides a foundation for future clinical research to build upon and suggests that this emerging approach could augment traditional, less effective stenting protocols.
