Endoscopic Ultrasound-Guided Biliary Drainage

OBJECTIVE To demonstrate a comprehensive review of published articles regarding endoscopic ultrasound (EUS)-guided biliary drainage. MATERIALS AND METHODS Review of studies regarding EUS-guided biliary drainage including case reports, case series and previous reviews. RESULTS EUS-guided hepaticogastrostomy, coledochoduodenostomy and choledoantrostomy are advanced biliary and pancreatic endo...

Endoscopic ultrasound-guided biliary drainage: a review

Endoscopic retrograde cholangiography (ERCP) is widely used as a first-line therapy for biliary drainage. ERCP occasionally fails owing to anatomical or technical problems, despite high reported success rates. Endoscopic ultrasound-guided biliary drainage (EUS-BD) has recently emerged as an effective alternative biliary drainage method after unsuccessful ERCP. EUS-BD can be essentially divided ...

Percutaneous transhepatic biliary drainage-assisted, endoscopic ultrasound-guided hepaticoduodenostomy for isolated complete right intrahepatic duct obstruction.

Endoscopic ultrasound (EUS)-guided biliary drainagehas emerged as an alternative modality for an obstructed intrahepatic duct (IHD). However, isolated right IHD obstruction hasnot been considered suitable for EUS-guided intervention because the right IHD may not be immediately adjacent to the duodenal wall or because the portal vein could be close to the route of approach [1]. We report our exp...

Endoscopic ultrasound-guided biliary drainage in malignant distal obstruction of the common bile duct.

Endoscopic ultrasound-guided transgastric biliary drainage after partial gastrectomy.

sound (EUS)-guided transgastric left intrahepatic bile stent drainage after partial gastrectomy for treating cholangiocarcinoma. A 56-year-old Chinese woman had a 8month history of abdominal pain and jaundice. She had a distal gastrectomy because of cholangiocarcinoma a year ago. Both endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) and percutaneous transhepatic biliary drainage (PTBD) wer...
