Abstract
We present a patient with hepatocellular carcinoma accompanied by portal vein and bile duct tumor thrombi. The patient was treated with a spiral Z-stent covered by a polyethylene sheet placed in the bile duct, a Wallstent placed in the portal vein, chemoembolization, and external radiation therapy. The patient is alive with patency of both endoprostheses 18 months later.
