Description
BackgroundMalignant biliary obstruction (MBO) in elderly cholangiocarcinoma is frequently accompanied by systemic inflammation and impaired immune–nutritional reserve. We compared stent durability and early nutrition-inflammation recovery after self-expandable metal stents (SEMS) versus plastic stents.MethodsWe conducted a single‑center prospective observational cohort of consecutive patients aged ≥65 years undergoing first‑time biliary stenting (2019–2024; N=188; SEMS n=109; plastic stent n=79).
