Case report demonstrates successful EUS-RV using self-expandable metal stent, suggesting reduced bile leakage risk.
Endoscopic ultrasound-guided rendezvous (EUS-RV) is a rescue technique employed when biliary access during endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) fails [1] [2] [3] [4]. However, EUS-RV is challenging due to the bile leakage risk, which can result in fluid collection between the liver and gastrointestinal tract. We report successful EUS-RV rescue using a self-expandable metal stent (SEMS) with an ultra-slim delivery system ([Video 1]).
