Endoscopic Ultrasound Guided Choledochoduodenostomy With Electrocautery Enhanced Lumen Apposing Metal Stents In The Treatment Of Malignant Distal Biliary Obstruction: Multi-Centre Collaboration From The Uk And Ireland

Endoscopic ultrasound guided choledochoduodenostomy (EUS-CDD) with electrocautery enhanced lumen apposing metal stents (EC-LAMS) has recently emerged as a viable option in the management of patients with malignant distal biliary obstruction (MDBO). We conducted a multi-centre collaboration from the UK and Ireland with an aim to analyse the pooled efficacy, safety and long term outcomes of EUS-CDD for treatment of MDBO.
