Title: Feasibility, effectiveness, and safety of simultaneous side-by-side deployment of
uncovered self-expandable metal stents for malignant hilar biliary obstruction: a retrospective
single- center study
Version: 0 Date: 11 Sep 2024
Reviewer's report:
This retrospective single centre case series of 15 patients found a high clinical and technical
success for biliary drainage of bismuth III and IV hilar malignant strictures using the 5.9Fr
Hanarostent.
The challenge of bilateral drainage was explained.
More details would have been valuable regarding the following:
-Case selection, including other hilar strictures during this time period that did not undergo
biliary drainage under this technique. Eg. evident of single lobe atrophy
- the specific techniques of simultaneous double stent deploy would be valuable, given that
technical challenges remain a primary reason bilateral drainage is often not attempted.
