Resumen :	Background: Biliary stent clogging is the principal limitation in the use of palliative treatments for malignant biliary stricture. The patency of metal stents lasts longer than that of plastic stents but metal stents are more expensive. Well-established criteria for choosing metal or plastic stents do not yet exist Patients and Methods: A retrospective trial was carried out with 80 patients in Pablo Tobón Hospital, between January 2002 and June 2008. 40 patients had plastic stents implanted while the other 40 had metal stents installed. Biliary stricture improvement, stricture recurrence, complications and survival rates for each group were compared. Results: 48 males (60%) and 32 females (40%) with an overall average age of 66±6 years and ages ranging from 47 years old to 78 years old were diagnosed with inoperable malignant distal biliary stricture. The two groups were comparable in terms of ages, genders, laboratory tests, diagnoses and liver metastases. Clinical success was the same for both treatments (92%). Hospital stays were signifi cantly shorter for patients with metal stents than for patients with plastic stents. (6.1 ± 6.6 days versus 10.6 ± 5.9 days. 95% confi dence interval: 1.6 to 7.2, p
