The bile duct is a passage that carries bile secreted by the liver. Running out of the liver, it enters the pancreas and then united with the pancreatic duct to forms a common bile duct opening into the duodenum. When the duct is clogged somewhere, the bile is prevented to flow, which causes hepatic diseases or jaundice. The accumulated bile in the duct, due to a raised internal pressure, flows back to the hepatic sinusoid and eventually into the blood vessels, causing jaundice. The patients along with choloangistis likely develop bacteriemia, which rapidly progresses to ichorrhemia, if left untreated or under immune compromise with aging or underlying diseases like diabetes and malignant tumors. The endoscopic bile duct drainage is performed for relief of jaundice, hepatapathy, and defective circulation in the intestine. The stent, which is placed to create an internal fistula for treatment of unresectable malignant distal biliary obstruction, has been conventionally made of plastic. However the plastic stent is now being replaced by Uncovered Metallic Stent(UMS) and the Covered Metallic Stent (CMS). As for the CMS, a randomized clinical study has been performed in Japan, reporting that CMS is superior to UMS in terms of patency. However CMS has not gained global acceptance yet. CMS has advantages that removal of the CMS can be performed even the duct is being clogged and that it has long-term patency. On the other hand, complications associated with the stent such as cholecystitis, pancreatitis, and displacements of the stent have been pointed out. Then we perform clinical trials targeting only pancreatic head cancer, a randomized study of Plastic stent versus CMS in treating distal biliary obstruction caused by an unresectable cancer in the pancreatic head. The purpose of the trials is to clarify which is the best choice, analyzing cost effectiveness and complications.

When a tumor mass is detected based on diagnostic imaging including US and CT, and tumor-related obstructive jaundice is suspected, we determine whether it is pancreas cancer or not by endoscopic pancreatic cholangiography and perform endoscopic retrograde biliary drainage. At this stage, in principle, endoscopic nasobiliary biliary drainage (ENBD) is performed or the plastic stent is placed. While alleviating jaundice, we determine if surgery can be carried out or not. Meanwhile, patients whose tumor is determined as unresectable up to this point are enrolled in the trials for placement of a designated stent(Plastic stent).
