TL;DR: Endoscopic ultrasound (EUS)-guided biliary drainage procedures can be utilized in patients with biliary obstruction and incomplete drainage with prior interventions, in those whose ampulla is inaccessible (i.e. from surgically altered anatomy and malignant luminal obstruction), or in those who failed bile duct cannulation during endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography.

TL;DR: The efficacy of endoscopic treatment of afferent limb syndrome is reported using lumen-apposing self-expandable metal stents to create 3 types of enteric anastomoses: a jejunojejunostomy, 2 gastrojejunostomies, and a duodenuojeJunostomy in patients who developed afferent limbs obstruction following a resection for pancreaticobiliary cancer.

TL;DR: Self expandable metal stents are a useful option to diverting colostomy for the palliation of malignant rectal obstruction and can be successfully placed in approximately 90% of cases with acceptable complication rates.

TL;DR: The aims of this review are to provide the highlights of the most recent literature on EUS-guided gallbladder drainage, and to demonstrate effectiveness and safety of E US-guided GBD.

TL;DR: Review of the patient’s admission medications revealed no medications commonly associated with pill esophagitis and the patient was asymptomatic and hemodynamically stable.
