Redefining endoluminal biliary drainage: Challenges and innovations in endosonography-guided techniques.

Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography is considered the gold standard for treating benign and malignant biliary obstructions. However, its use in complex biliary obstructions is limited. Over the past decades, therapeutic endosonography (EUS) and emerging technologies such as lumen-apposing metal stents have enabled endoscopic treatment of conditions previously requiring non-endoscopic or surgical approaches.

Endoscopic ultrasound (EUS)-guided interventions have revolutionized the management of malignant biliary obstruction (MBO) and gastric outlet obstruction (GOO), providing minimally invasive alternatives with improved outcomes. These procedures have significantly reduced the need for high-risk surgical interventions or percutaneous alternatives and have provided effective palliative care for patients with advanced gastrointestinal and bilio-pancreatic malignancies. EUS-guided biliary drainage (EUS-BD) techniques, including hepaticogastrostomy (EUS-HGS), choledochoduodenostomy (EUS-CDS), and antegrade stenting (EUS-AS), offer high technical and clinical success rates, with a good safety profile particularly when Endoscopic Retrograde Cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) is not feasible.

Pancreatic masses pose a diagnostic difficulty due to the technical complexities related to tissue acquisition. Endoscopic ultrasound (EUS)-guided tissue acquisition has transformed the field by allowing access to pancreatic lesions through fine-needle and biopsy. However, diagnostic accuracy differs based on tumor characteristics and procedural factors.

Article Synopsis
  • - Portal hypertension (PH) is a serious complication in liver disease, and endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) is being highlighted as an effective diagnostic tool for its assessment due to its high-resolution imaging capabilities
  • - The review found that EUS not only improves PH evaluation but also includes advanced methods like contrast enhancement and shear-wave elastography to assess liver stiffness, making it less invasive compared to traditional techniques
  • - Despite its advantages, EUS has limitations such as procedural invasiveness and variability in results, necessitating further research and standardization to enhance its clinical application in managing PH
