Conversion of transpapillary drainage to endoscopic ultrasound-guided hepaticogastrostomy and gallbladder drainage in a case of malignant biliary obstruction with recurrent cholangitis and cholecystitis (with videos)

چکیده
Endoscopic ultrasound-guided biliary drainage (EUS-BD) has been increasingly reported as an alternative to percutaneous transhepatic biliary drainage in failed endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography. Moreover, conversion to EUS-BD can be a good alternative when transpapillary biliary drainage is technically possible but complicated by cholangitis because EUS-BD enables one-step internal drainage not traversing the tumor. Herein, we report a case of recurrent cholangitis due to hemobilia and cholecystitis due to tumor involvement to the cystic duct after transpapillary stent placement, which was successfully managed by conversion to EUS-BD and EUS-guided gallbladder drainage in one session.

Successful re-intervention with metal stent trimming using argon plasma coagulation after endoscopic ultrasound-guided hepaticogastrostomy.
Recently, endoscopic ultrasound (EUS)guided biliary drainage has been introduced as an alternative method after failed endoscopic biliary drainage, particularly in patients with a pre-existing duodenal obstruction [1–3]. A longer self-expandable metal stent (SEMS) is usually used for EUS-guided hepaticogastrostomy (EUS-HGS) to prevent stent migration. However, re-intervention after EUS-HGS is c...

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Endoscopic ultrasound (EUS)-guided biliary drainage techniques are alternative procedures in cases of obstructive jaundice with altered anatomy or failed ERCP. Complications related to EUS-guided antegrade drainage (EUS-AD) are still present in up to 10% of cases, and combination of procedures is sometimes suggested to avoid adverse events. The purpose of our study is ...

BACKGROUND AND STUDY AIMS Postsurgical benign bilioenteric anastomotic strictures are a major adverse event of biliary surgery and endoscopic treatment, including endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP), is challenging in this setting. We present an innovative approach to treating this complication. PATIENTS AND METHODS Patients underwent endoscopic ultrasound (EUS)-hepaticogast...

An 81-year-old man presented with upper abdominal pain, nausea, and vomiting, with elevated liver test results. Abdominal computed tomography demonstrated mild intraand extrahepatic biliary ductal dilation (common bile duct 11mm), with choledocholithiasis, layering gallstones, and enhancement and thickening of the gallbladder wall. Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) was attem...
