Variable analysis
- Endoscopist experience level (experienced or trainee under direct supervision)
- Successful endoscopic stent removal
- Presence of tumor ingrowth inside the stent (as indicated by contrast defects)
- Type of endoscope used (duodenoscope or single-balloon enteroscope)
- Conscious sedation with pethidine and midazolam
- Biliary cannulation from the stent end or through the stent mesh
- Balloon sweeping inside the stent under fluoroscopic guidance
- Stent removal technique (grasping with forceps or snare, pushing and twisting endoscope, regrasping higher up on the stent)
- Careful removal of both the stent and endoscope together under endoscopic and fluoroscopic guidance

About PubCompare
Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.
We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.
However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
