Effects of Clip Anchoring on Preventing Migration of Fully Covered Self-Expandable Metal Stent in Patients Undergoing Endoscopic Retrograde Cholangiopancreatography: A Multicenter, Randomized Controlled Study

Fully covered self-expandable metal stents (FCSEMSs) are commonly placed in patients with biliary stricture during endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP). However, up to 40% of migration has been reported, resulting in treatment failure or the requirement for further intervention. Here, we aimed to investigate the effects of metal clip anchoring on preventing the migration of FCSEMS.
