Abstract: Malignant biliary obstruction (MBO) refers to the obstruction of the biliary tract, which usually causes obstruction of bile discharge, leading to skin yellow staining, itching, and impaired liver function. MBO can be caused by bile duct, pancreatic head, jugular tumor or distant tumor metastasis invasion and compression. Because of its insidious symptoms and high degree of malignancy, the 5-year survival rate is extremely low, and most patients miss the opportunity of surgery. Therefore, endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography combined with internal biliary stents drainage has significant advantages in the palliative treatment of MBO.
