Percutaneous Transhepatic Retrieval of Dysfunctional Plastic Biliary Stents
This study suggests that percutaneous transhepatic retrieval of dysfunctional PBS appears to be a safe and effective alternative when ERCP is not feasible. However, given the retrospective single-center design, limited sample size, and short follow-up, larger multicenter studies with longer observation are needed to validate these findings.
