Figure 1 Multi-hole self-expandable metallic stent.
A: With lasso (small-hole type); B: Large-hole type.
Figure 2 Computerized tomography images.
A: A large metastasis in the right liver lobe; B: Intrahepatic biliary dilation.
Figure 3 Cholangiography via a direct peroral cholangioscope.
A, B: The right bile duct was visualized by contrast material through the stent openings; C: After cholangiography, the metallic mesh was not found buried in tissue but fixed to the bile duct wall.
