This analysis shows the possible treatment for recurrent obstructive jaundice in patients after endoscopic ultrasound-guided biliary drainage, implying improved management options.
Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) is the preferred option for treating obstructive complications after digestive tract reconstruction surgery. However, endoscopic ultrasound-guided biliary drainage (EUS-BD) is a remedial measure when ERCP fails [1] [2]. When patients experience a recurrence of obstructive jaundice after endoscopic ultrasound (EUS)-guided hepaticogastrostomy (HGS), there are not many treatment options available. In this article, we provide a solution for the short-term recurrence of obstructive jaundice after HGS, hoping that it can be useful to everyone.
