AB  - Transpapillary stents are increasingly being used for biliary strictures, whether 
      benign or malignant. However, there are different stent types and available data 
      is controversial. Recently, completely covered self-expandable metal stents 
      (CSEMSs) have been proposed as an alternative therapeutic option in different 
      biliary indications, including strictures of the distal bile duct, anastomotic 
      stenosis after orthotopic liver transplantation, bile duct leaks, periampullary 
      perforation following endoscopic sphincterotomy (ES), and postsphincterotomy 
      bleeding. Despite the higher costs of these devices, fully covered self-expanding 
      metal stents seem to be a suitable therapeutic option to relief biliary 
      obstruction due to bile duct stenosis, regardless of the underlying cause.
