Median time to RBO was signifi- clusions following bilateral self-expandable metallic stent (SEMS) cantly longer for revisionary SEMS placement than for plastic stent placement for malignant hilar biliary obstruction (MHBO) is placement (131 days vs 47 days, respectively; log–rank test, challenging, and time to recurrent biliary obstruction (RBO) of the re- P = 0.005). Revisionary SEMS placement was the only independent visionary stent remains unclear. We aimed to clarify a suitable factor that was significantly associated with a longer time to RBO reintervention method for stent occlusions following bilateral
