Cook Medical has improved the Zilver 635 Biliary Stent, with a redesigned 6 Fr introducer and two new longer stent options (10 cm and 12 cm), to allow precise* endoscopic stent placement from the hilum through the papilla.
Here, Gregory Ginsberg, MD, performs a simultaneous double stenting procedure to palliate a patient with multifocal stricturing in the common bile duct and hilar strictures on both the left and right sides, resulting from a cholangiocarcinoma. During this procedure, he’s using two 12 cm Zilver 635 Biliary Stents over Acrobat® 2 Calibrated Tip Wire Guides.
Dr Ginsberg is the director of Endoscopic Services, professor of surgery, and professor of medicine at the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania. His clinical expertise includes cholangiocarcinoma and biliary tract disorders.
