A single-balloon enteroscope (
SIF-H290S; Olympus Medical, Tokyo, Japan), a distal attachment (
D-201-10704; Olympus Medical) and an overtube (
ST-SB1S; Olympus Medical) was used as a BAE in this study. This enteroscope has a 9.2 mm distal end diameter, a 152 cm working length and a 3.2 mm working channel. A 6 Fr or 7.2 Fr END tube (SilkyPass; Boston Scientific, Marlborough, MA, USA) was used for external drainage. A 7 Fr double-pigtail stent (Through & Pass; Gadelius Medical, Tokyo, Japan, Zimmon Biliary Stent Sets; Cook Medical, Bloomington, IN, USA) was used when a plastic stent was selected for internal drainage. Several types of uncovered SEMS with 9 Fr delivery systems were used depending on the time of study period: Niti-S Colonic stent (TaeWoong Medical, Gyeonggi-do, South Korea), Niti-S Pyloric/Duodenal stent (TaeWoong Medical), HANAROSTENT Naturfit DUO stent (Boston Scientific), JENTLLY NEO Duodenal stent (Japan Lifeline, Tokyo, Japan), and NEXENT duodenal stent (Next Biomedical, Incheon, South Korea). The diameter of Niti-S Colonic stemt was 18 mm, while all other SEMS had diamaters of 22 mm. The lengths of uncovered SEMS were 60, 80, 100, 120 mm.
