EUS-guided Biliary Drainage for Malignant Perihilar Biliary Strictures after Further Transpapillary Intervention Has Been Judged to Be Impossible or Ineffective

摘要

Objective Patients with perihilar malignancy often develop recurrence of infectious cholangitis, which makes further transpapillary intervention extremely difficult. As endoscopic ultrasound (EUS)-guided biliary drainage (EUS-BD) of an intrahepatic bile duct is a possible option for additional intervention, the aim of this study was to estimate the feasibility of such intervention.
