A comparison of balloon- versus stent-based approach for dominant strictures in primary sclerosing cholangitis: a meta-analysis.
Abstract
Approximately 10-62% of patients with primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC) will develop dominant strictures at some point during their disease. Because of the paucity of available data, optimal endoscopic therapeutic strategies remain unclear. We performed a systematic review and meta-analysis of endoscopic balloon dilation vs. balloon dilation plus stenting of dominant strictures in PSC.
