Biliary Metal Stent – Long-Term Patency for Bile Duct Obstruction

Biliary Metal Stent

The Biliary Metal Stent is a self-expandable device used to maintain the patency of obstructed bile ducts. It is typically inserted endoscopically during ERCP in patients with malignant or benign biliary strictures. Designed for long-term drainage, it allows continuous bile flow from the liver to the duodenum.

Background and Clinical Evolution

Initially developed as an alternative to plastic stents, metal stents have evolved to offer greater radial strength, durability, and larger lumen diameters. Over the years, they have become the preferred choice in cases of unresectable malignancies or recurring blockages. Their longer lifespan and reduced occlusion rates significantly improve patient comfort and minimize the need for repeat interventions. Covered and uncovered variants also allow for tailored application depending on the clinical indication.

Overview 

Advin Health Care offers a high-quality Biliary Metal Stent designed for long-term biliary drainage. The self-expanding structure allows for easy delivery through narrow strictures while providing strong radial force to maintain duct patency. Advin Health Care ensures that the stent is biocompatible, flexible, and precisely engineered for effective deployment via ERCP. Available in covered and uncovered forms, it reduces migration risk while allowing effective drainage. This device is ideal for clinicians managing complex biliary obstructions.

Surgeries and Procedures Where Used

• ERCP-guided biliary stenting
• Malignant biliary obstruction (e.g., cholangiocarcinoma, pancreatic cancer)
• Benign biliary strictures
• Palliative care in unresectable tumors
• Biliary drainage in recurrent obstruction cases

Instructions for Use

• Position guidewire into the biliary duct via endoscope
• Advance stent delivery system to the stricture site
• Deploy stent under fluoroscopic and endoscopic guidance
• Confirm expansion and placement
• Monitor patient for bile flow and clinical improvement

Common Clinical Names

Self-Expandable Metal Stent (SEMS), Endoscopic Biliary Stent, ERCP Metal Stent, Bile Duct Metal Stent, Metallic Biliary Drainage Stent

Global Trends in Biliary Drainage

With the increasing global incidence of biliary cancers and chronic pancreatitis, the need for long-term bile duct stenting has grown significantly. Metal stents are now preferred in most tertiary care centers due to their longevity and efficiency. Covered stents are gaining popularity in managing tumor-related strictures, while uncovered stents are commonly used in long-term benign cases. The demand continues to rise in emerging markets with improving access to advanced endoscopic procedures.
