Endoscopic Procedures V: ERCP01:26

Endoscopic Procedures V: ERCP

Endoscopic Retrograde Cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) is a diagnostic procedure that combines endoscopy and fluoroscopy to diagnose and treat conditions related to the bile ducts, pancreatic ducts, and gallbladder. This procedure is beneficial for identifying and addressing blockages, gallstones, strictures, and tumors within the biliary or pancreatic systems. ERCP is both diagnostic and therapeutic, offering the ability to visualize and treat identified problems in one session.

Endoscopy·2026

Endoscopic ultrasound (EUS)-guided biliary drainage offers advanced options like hepaticogastrostomy and choledochoduodenostomy for complex cases. These procedures are effective when performed by experienced specialists after failed ERCP.

Area of Science:

  • Gastroenterology
  • Endoscopic Ultrasound
  • Biliary Interventions

Background:

  • Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) is the standard for biliary drainage.
  • Complex biliary obstructions may require alternative or advanced endoscopic techniques.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review and synthesize the current literature on EUS-guided biliary drainage.
  • To outline the indications and outcomes of advanced EUS-biliary procedures.

Main Methods:

  • Comprehensive literature review of case reports, series, and previous reviews.
  • Focused on studies detailing EUS-guided hepaticogastrostomy, choledochoduodenostomy, and choledochoantrostomy.

Main Results:

  • EUS-guided biliary drainage encompasses hepaticogastrostomy, choledochoduodenostomy, and choledochoantrostomy.

Endoscopic Ultrasound-Guided Biliary Drainage: Endoscopic Ultrasound-Guided Hepaticogastrostomy in Malignant Biliary Obstruction

Published on: March 25, 2022

  • Hepaticogastrostomy is preferred for hilar obstructions; choledochoduodenostomy for distal lesions, both after failed ERCP.
  • Multidisciplinary evaluation and patient consultation are crucial for procedural indication.

    • Conclusions:

    • EUS-guided hepaticogastrostomy and choledochoduodenostomy are feasible and effective interventions.
    • These advanced techniques require specialized expertise in biliopancreatic endoscopy and echo-endoscopy.
    • Implementation in educational settings necessitates strict adherence to established protocols.
