Background And Aims: Patients with concomitant gastric outlet obstruction (GOO) and biliary obstruction often have limited management options, particularly in the setting of severe debility. We detail the use of EUS guided gastro-duodenal placement of lumen apposing metal stent (LAMS) as a conduit for transduodenal ERCP: EUS-Directed transDuodenal ERCP (EDDE).
Methods: Nine patients that developed GOO with indwelling biliary metal stents or with anticipated biliary stent placement were retrospectively included.

Imaging followed by endoscopic ultrasound (EUS)-guided therapy has become the preferred modality for treating pancreatic pseudocysts over surgical or radiological interventions. However, there continues to be a lack of consensus regarding the utility of endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) before and after cyst drainage. We describe 4 cases of large pancreatic pseudocyst causing extrinsic biliary obstruction treated successfully with endoscopic cystogastrostomy decompression using a lumen-apposing self-expandable metal stent (LAMS) without ERCP.

In a recent issue of the , a meta-analysis investigated the safety and efficacy of electrocautery-enhanced lumen-apposing metal stent (ECE-LAMS) implantation for managing malignant biliary obstruction following failed endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography. This manuscript endeavors to offer a comprehensive look at the progression of endoscopic ultrasound-guided biliary drainage (EUS-BD) technologies, weighing their merits and drawbacks against traditional percutaneous methods. Several meta-analyses and randomized controlled trials have compared the performance of EUS-BD and percutaneous transhepatic cholangiodrainage (PTCD).
