Figure 3 Long-term results of covered self-expandable metallic stents in unresectable distal malignant biliary obstruction. A: Non-recurrent biliary obstruction (RBO) rate and median time to recurrent biliary obstruction (TRBO); B: Overall survival rate; C: Comparison of TRBO in the < 130° group and ≤ 130°group. RBO: Recurrent biliary obstruction; TRBO: Time to recurrent biliary obstruction; NA: Not available; CSEMS: Covered self-expandable metallic stents; MBO: Malignant biliary obstruction; CI: Confidence interval
