Summary
Brief summary (as posted)
In this feasibility study (non-randomized), the applicability of a new "moving cell" biliary stents (by HILZO) in Klatskin tumors (bile duct obstruction) will be investigated. The HILZO Moving-Cell Stent to be examined here is a non-coated metal stent with a novelty. The meshes have a diameter of 4 mm, which is rather small compared to most other stents. This significantly increases the radial force and thus the stability of the stent. Furthermore, ingrowth by tumors in the stent is difficult. The special feature is that the individual meshes can easily be stretched to 10 mm without changing the stability of the stent. This allows a second stent to pass through the first to another segment of liver.
