Plain-language summary

Biliary drainage is the mainstay of the palliative treatment in patients with inoperable malignant bile duct stricture. Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) is the cornerstone of biliary drainage method in these patients. However, ERCP is sometime unsuccessful to perform because of the presence of the high grade biliary stricture, tumor invasion of duodenum and ampulla of vater and surgically altered gastrointestinal anatomy. Endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) guided biliary drainage has been emerged as an alternative procedure to traditional surgical bypass and percutaneous trans hepatic biliary drainage after failed ERCP. There were few data to directly compare between ERCP and EUS guided biliary drainage and in patients with malignant high grade biliary stricture.
