Journal ArticleDOI

EUS-Guided Biliary Drainage Versus ERCP for the Primary Palliation of Malignant Biliary Obstruction: A Multicenter Randomized Clinical Trial.

TL;DR: Substantially longer duration of patency coupled with lower rates of adverse events and reintervention, and more preserved QOL were observed with EUS‐BD, which was associated with more preserved quality of life (QOL) than transpapillary stenting after 12 weeks of the procedure.
Journal ArticleDOI

Similar Efficacies of Endoscopic Ultrasound-guided Transmural and Percutaneous Drainage for Malignant Distal Biliary Obstruction.

TL;DR: E US-BD and PTBD had similar levels of efficacy in patients with unresectable malignant distal biliary obstruction and inaccessible papilla based on rates of technical and functional success and QOL, however, EUS-BD produced fewer procedure-related adverse events and unscheduled re-interventions.
Journal ArticleDOI

A comparison of metal and plastic stents for the relief of jaundice in unresectable malignant biliary obstruction in Korea: an emphasis on cost-effectiveness in a country with a low ERCP cost.

TL;DR: Even in countries where ERCP costs are lower than those of metal stents, initial endoscopic retrograde biliary drainage with metal biliary stents as the first-line treatment may offer better palliation without a significant increased cost in patients with unresectable malignant biliary obstruction.
Journal ArticleDOI

Feasibility and safety of a novel dedicated device for one-step EUS-guided biliary drainage: A randomized trial.

TL;DR: To determine feasibility and safety of a newly designed 7F stent introducer with tapered metal tip as a push‐type dilator for one‐step metal stent placement without additional fistula dilation in EUS‐BD, a second study is conducted.
