Sustainable effectiveness of double duodenal and EUS-guided transmural biliary drainage in a patient with metastasis to biliopancreatoduodenal zone

Abstract

Obstructive jaundice with duodenal obstruction are often encountered in patients with primary cancer or metastasis to bilipancreatoduodenal zone. Usually palliative surgery involving creation of gastroentero and liver-cholecysteneteroanas-tamosis is used. This palliative surgery carries a high risk of complications and death if performed at the height of jaundice. In this case endoscopic stenting of duodenum or EUS-guided transmural biliary drainage may be preferred method of treatment. At the same time in the majority of patients performing of ERCP in cases of duodenum obstruction is not technically feasible. In this case EUS-guided transmural biliary drainage can be implemented. This clinical case demonstrates endoscopic treatment of a patient with pancreatoduodenal cancer complicated by duodenal obstruction and obstructive jaundice using endosonography and x-ray guided endoscopy.
