Trial Design

2Treatment groups
Experimental Treatment
Active Control
Group I: Sequential stent additionExperimental Treatment1 Intervention
ERCP with sphincterotomy and stent placement is initially performed, then additional stents are placed across the stricture during sequential ERCPs, without stent removal/exchange or stricture dilation.
Group II: Incremental Dilation & Stent ExchangeActive Control1 Intervention
ERCP with sphincterotomy and stent placement is initially performed, with subsequent ERCPs involving removal of previously placed stents, stricture dilation and balloon sweeps to extract stone debris/sludge.
