Implication

Literature review demonstrates high success rates for endoscopic ultrasound-guided cholangiopancreatography after failed ERCP, indicating its emerging rescue role.

Key Points

To evaluate the efficacy, clinical outcomes, and safety of endoscopic-ultrasound-guided cholangiopancreatography (EUS-CP) for biliary and pancreatic duct decompression.
Literature review analyzing clinical and technical outcomes of EUS-CP procedures.
Assessed procedural success rates, adverse events, and the feasibility of same-session intervention following failed standard ERCP.
Technical and clinical success rates are approximately 90% for biliary duct drainage and 70% for pancreatic duct drainage.
The overall procedural complication rate for EUS-CP is approximately 15%.
Performing EUS-CP during the same session as a failed initial ERCP is practical and reduces the need for invasive alternative interventions like percutaneous transhepatic cholangiography or surgery.
