Study Summary

This trial studies the side effects of self expanding metal stent (SEMS) placement before surgery in unblocking the bile duct in patients with periampullary pancreatic cancer with severe obstructive jaundice. SEMS placement unblocks the bile duct and may help in improving bile drainage prior to surgery in patients with periampullary pancreatic cancer with severe obstructive jaundice.

Primary Outcome

The risk difference will be calculated (stent minus control) with a one-sided 95% confidence interval.

Interventions

  • OTHER Standard of care
  • PROCEDURE Endoscopic Retrograde Cholangiopancreatography
