摘要

I he interventional capability of endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) has progressed considerably in recent years, most importantly in techniques for EUS-guided biliary drainage. EUS allows visualization of the intrahepatic and extrahepatic biliary tree, as well as the gallbladder, and provides a platform for various drainage techniques.1'2 Technical interventions aimed at accessing the bile ducts and gallbladder continue to develop in parallel.
