982 single-scope transgastric antegrade cholangioscopy (stac) and intraductal polypectomy via eus-guided hepaticogastrostomy (hgs) with a lumen-apposing-metal stent (lams)

We present a case in which EUS-FNA failed to diagnose polypoid cholangiocarcinoma and ERCP failed to drain the upstream duct. EUS-guided hepaticogastrostomy (HGS) was performed with a lumen-apposing metal stent (LAMS). HGS provided biliary drainage and access for single-scope transgastric antegrade cholangioscopy (STAC).
