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.

Objectives: EUS-guided biliary drainage (EUS-BD) is performed after endoscopic transpapillary biliary drainage fails. Although fistula dilation is one of the most difficult steps of EUS-BD, whether an ultratapered ERCP catheter or a dilator is the best choice for fistula dilation is unclear. In this study, we aimed to identify the optimal device for fistula dilation after guidewire placement.

The incidence of hilar cholangiocarcinoma is (1-2) / 100,0001. Due to the high location of obstruction, the treatment of hilar cholangiocarcinoma is complicated, especially for patients with gastrointestinal surgery. The traditional ERCP technique is to find a way to place more stents to treat obstructive jaundice.

Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) is the gold standard in managing malignant biliary obstruction. The success of ERCP has limitations, whereas surgical biliary bypass and percutaneous transhepatic approaches, as alternative modalities, come with significant costs, longer durations, and higher levels of mortality and morbidity. Endoscopic ultrasonography (EUS)-guided biliary drainage with two approaches, hepaticogastrostomy (EUS-HGS) and choledochoduodenostomy (EUS-CDS), is a favored and evolving alternative modality.

In this editorial, we comment on the article by Peng . Palliative drainage for biliary obstruction resulting from unresectable malignant lesions includes internal and external drainage. The procedures of biliary drainage are usually guided by fluoroscopy or transcutaneous ultrasound, endoscopic ultrasound (EUS), or both.
