This review aims to focus on what we know about the management of biliary strictures of unknown etiology, especially exploring our diagnostic armamentarium in the setting of indeterminate biliary strictures. Presently, this is a current issue that has a relevant impact both on patient prognosis, often delaying diagnosis, and on overall costs associated with repeating diagnostic procedures, sometimes performed with very expensive devices. We also focus on current biliary drainage approaches, providing an overview of therapeutic options, endoscopic or not.

Background: Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) is a key therapeutic procedure in diseases of the pancreas or bile ducts. The understanding and effective management of the risks associated with the procedure, especially in the context of possible infectious complications, is crucial for patients' safety. The aim of this review was to analyze the results of studies on antibiotic prophylaxis for infectious complications of ERCP, pancreatoscopy, and cholangioscopy.

Biliary and pancreatic tract stenosis are hallmark symptoms in pancreaticobiliary diseases, transcending malignancy. Endoscopic techniques are pivotal for biliary/pancreatic drainage; however, challenging scenarios arise when attempting to pass a guidewire (GW) through obstruction. Cholangioscopy-assisted GW placement has proven valuable, but challenges persist in its execution, particularly in maneuvering the GW through cholangioscopy.
