Abstract
EUS-AG stenting is a viable treatment option for patients with bile duct stones or obstruction in whom ERCP has failed, primarily as a consequence of surgically altered anatomy, duodenal obstruction, or inability to cannulate the papilla. According to the literature, both the technical and clinical successful rate of EUS-AG are high (technical success: 85.7–100%; clinical success rate: 81.6–100%) and severe complications have not been reported. At present, it shows some possible advantages over other approach routes like ERCP, PTBD, or EUS-HG, although further study with a larger cohort is still needed to evaluate its efficacy and safety.
