Abstract

Endoscopic ultrasound-guided biliary drainage (EUS-BD) has emerged as a new approach to biliary drainage in last two decades, and has become particularly popular in tertiary endoscopic centers. EUS-BD is a safe, effective, feasible procedure for biliary drainage with an acceptably low level of adverse effects. It can be used as the preferred procedure in patients with biliary obstruction who had failed endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography. In this article we report a successful application of EUS-BD method in a patient with biliary obstruction.
