This retrospective study evaluated the success of single stent placement exchange every 3 months for up to 1 year resulting in resolution of the stricture in 38% of patients.

Gastrointest Endosc 2005; 60:945-952. This study examined the long-term benefit of a single stent compared with multiple simultaneous stents for treatment of chronic pancreatitis-induced biliary strictures. The multiple-stent approach had significantly better stricture resolution with fewer complications.

This study argues that expandable metallic stents should be used when surgery in patients with potentially resectable pancreatic cancer is delayed for preoperative chemoradiation therapy and does not preclude surgery.

16. Huang CS, Lichtenstein DR. Postcholecystectomy bile leak: what is the optimal treatment? Gastrointest Endosc 2005; 61:276-278. This editorial discusses the high success rate of the treatment of postoperative bile leaks with stent therapy and argues that a better analysis of the treatment failures would allow for predictors of failure of endoscopic treatment rather than optimal choice of therapy given insufficient numbers.
