Su1289 COMPARISON OF EUS-GUIDED RENDEZVOUS AND PERCUTANEOUS BILIARY DRAINAGE IN PATIENTS FAILED STANDARD ERCP

Endoscopic retrograde cholangiography (ERCP) is the procedure of choice for biliary decompression in patients with obstructive jaundice. In cases of failed procedure, percutaneous biliary drainage (PBD) is currently the mainstream of alternative care. On the other hand, EUS-guided rendezvous (EUS-RV) drainage is gaining popularity of reported high technical success. Current literature mostly focuses on EUS-guided transluminal drainage, while only few studied on the role of EUS-RV. We aimed to compare the success rate, efficacy and safety of EUS-RV drainage over standard care as the rescue therapy.
