Current progress of endoscopic ultrasound-guided biliary drainage / 中华肝胆外科杂志

ABSTRACT

Endoscopic ultrasound-guided biliary drainage (EUS-BD) has been gradually developing and has replaced the percutaneous transhepatic bile duct drainagebecause of its safety and effectiveness, and it has become an effective alternative plan after endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography treatment failure in patients with benign and malignant biliary obstruction. In clinical operation, the surgeons can choose the appropriate surgical method according to the patient's own condition and anatomical characteristics. This paper summarized the clinical application and research progress of EUS-BD technology by collecting relevant literatures published in recent years.
