Endoscopic Ultrasound-Guided Choledochoduodenostomy (EUCD)

Abstract

In patients with jaundice and unsuccessful biliary drainage with cholangiopancreatography because of inaccessible papilla due to duodenal stenosis caused by tumor invasion, endoscopic ultrasound (EUS)-guided biliary drainage has been introduced as an alternative to percutaneous cholangiodrainage (PTCD). Here is demonstrated an EUS-guided choledochoduodenostomy in a patient with local advanced pancreatic carcinoma. This article is part of an expert video encyclopedia.
