Endoscopy. 1992 Jun;24(5):436-9. doi: 10.1055/s-2007-1010516.

Abstract

Ginaturco-Rösch Z-stent is a new self-expanding stainless steel stent for drainage of the obstructed biliary system. It has been used only with a percutaneous transhepatic technique. We describe a new method for endoscopic retrograde placement of a Gianturco-Rösch biliary Z-stent. This report describes our experience for endoscopic application of a Gianturco-Rösch biliary Z-stent in a patient with a benign stricture and multiple common bile duct stones.
