Abstract

             A simple technique employing a long taper tip catheter to facilitate stent placement in tight biliary malignant stricture, smaller than 5 F, may serve as an alternative procedure to successful placement of biliary stent when conventional dilatation is of no avail. This procedure requires only standard diagnostic duodenoscope, 5 F long taper tip catheter, grasping forceps and 5 F stent set containing the stent, 0.021 inch guide wire and the pusher tube. Subsequently, it also facilitates the consecutive dilatation by balloon or graduated dilator for placement of larger plastic stent or expandable metallic stent.
