			<description><![CDATA[<p>I figure that the palliate care section is the best place to post this, although most of the material in this forum section seems to be related to Hospice.</p><p>Dr. Baron at Mayo Clinic conducted the below study of placing Self Exandable Metallic Stent&#039;s in the common bile duct and leading edges of each hepatic duct.&nbsp; The finished product is a stent within a stent that forms a big Y at the bifurcation.&nbsp; This way, the common bile duct is double stented and the leading edges of each individual stent reaches out to form the 2 branches of the Y.&nbsp; </p><p>I am lucky that I have seen Dr. Baron for all of my previous ERCP&#039;s and he is an expert in stent placements.&nbsp; I have the double stents forming the Y that is mentioned in the study below and I think they have dramatically improvement my quality of life over the last 9 months.&nbsp; I am returning to see him next week for maintenance on this configuration because I am starting to get some symptoms back and mild elevation in bilirubin.&nbsp; I will report back after the procedure to update this thread.</p><p>I strongly recommend to those of you who are not resectable to consider this option at some point.&nbsp; </p><p><a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/19945101">http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/19945101</a></p>]]></description>
