VILLARROEL, Mariano et al. Endoscopic ultrasound-guided hepaticogastrostomy for treatment of malignant biliary obstruction in patient with Roux-en-Y gastrectomy. Rev. gastroenterol. Perú [online]. 2020, vol.40, n.2, pp.198-201. ISSN 1022-5129.
Endoscopic retrograde cholangiography with biliary stenting is the generally recognized optimal treatment of malignant biliary obstruction. This procedure, though, is challenging in patients with surgically altered anatomy. Endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) enables tissue sampling by means of fine-needle aspiration and also represents an alternative recourse for biliary drainage in preference to a percutaneous approach. We aimed to report a case in which EUS enabled a definitive diagnosis of the recurrence of oncologic disease and the relief of biliary obstruction in a patient with a surgically altered anatomy.
