Figure 1
(a, b) Endoscopic retrograde cholangiography; (c) duodenoscopy; (d) fluoroscopy. ERC revealed strictures (arrows), 4 cm in length, in the lower-middle bile duct (a). A fully-covered metal stent (arrows) (covered Zeostent), 8 cm in length and 1 cm in diameter, was placed through the papilla of Vater and the stricture (b, c). The stent was fully expanded the day after the procedure (d).
