Figure 2 Endoscopic retrograde cholangiography image showing the details of the obstructive state of the biliary duct. We evaluated the obstructive state of the biliary duct by measuring the following four items: (a) The diameter of the target biliary duct, (b) the diameter of the target biliary stricture, (c) the diameter of the first retained self-expandable metallic stent (SEMS), (d) the length of the target biliary duct stricture and (e) the angle between the target biliary duct stricture and the first implanted SEMS.
