Abstract: Biliary stent has been utilized in the patients of benign and malignant biliary strictures and biliary fistula who are unsuitable or unwilling to operate.Its short-term curative effect is distinct,while the long-term effect is relatively poor,because the long-term application is affected by stent blocking and biliary ducts restenosis.Therefore,the research and development of new biliary stents,such as biodegradable stent and covered stent,are the main trend of the current development,which will be of profound significance for the biliary tract disease.
