EUS-guided antegrade intervention for benign biliary diseases in patients with surgically altered anatomy (with videos)

Although balloon enteroscopy-assisted ERCP (BE-ERCP) is effective and safe for benign biliary diseases in patients with surgically altered anatomy (SAA), BE-ERCP is not always successful. Recently, EUS-guided antegrade intervention (EUS-AI) including a 1-stage or 2-stage procedure has been developed for BE-ERCP failure cases. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the outcome of EUS-AI for benign biliary diseases with SAA.
