Figure 1 Potential risk factors.
The potential risk factors for migration included bile duct stenosis secondary to benign disease (P = 0.030); stenosis of the lower bile duct (P = 0.031); bile duct diameter > 10 mm (P = 0.023); duration of stent placement > 1 mo (P = 0.007); use of straight-type stents (P < 0.001); and 10-Fr stents (P < 0.001).
