Study of a dissolving bile-duct stent
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.

This study looks at whether placing a small tube (a pancreatic stent) during an ERCP procedure can lower the chance of getting pancreatitis afterward. If you need a difficult ERCP with bile duct access, the results may help improve prevention of post-procedure pancreatitis.
This study is testing a new type of stent that eventually dissolves on its own. The stent is placed in a narrowed bile duct to open it up and let bile flow properly. This might help people with strictures caused by scarring, stones, past surgeries, or certain bile duct cancers.
This study is testing a special temporary stent that breaks down over time to help open a narrowed bile duct after a liver transplant. It may help avoid long-term plastic stents or additional surgery.
This trial tests a temporary, biodegradable stent to lower the chance of getting pancreatitis after an ERCP endoscopy procedure. It may help people who are considered at higher risk, by trying to prevent this complication.
This trial tests a new type of stent (a small tube placed in bile ducts) that dissolves on its own over time in patients with primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC), a rare disease affecting the bile ducts. The goal is to widen narrowed ducts and reduce the need for repeated procedures.
This study compares two types of temporary drainage tubes (stents) placed in your bile duct to relieve blockage caused by pancreatic cancer. The goal is to see which type works better as a bridge to prepare you for surgery.
