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.
