EUS Kılavuzluğundaki Hepatikojejunostomi Sırasında Öngörülemeyen Olay

Endoscopic ultrasound (EUS)-guided biliary drainage is a therapeutic alternative method in patients with cholestasis where the ampulla of Vater cannot be reached because several reasons. An unfortunate complication during EUS-guided biliary drainage was presented in this report. A 53-year-old male patient presented with jaundice and pruritus. He had a history of total gastrectomy due to gastric cancer. An abdominal tomography scan detected a tumoral mass in the common bile duct due to the recurrence of gastric cancer. We decided to perform EUS-guided hepaticojejunostomy because biliary drainage cannot be obtained by conventional methods and percutaneous drainage impairs patient comfort. A double pigtail plastic stent was placed from the jejunum into the segment-3 bile duct towards the hilus. After that echoduodenoscope was removed to the outside gently. We noticed that the stent was stuck in the echoduedonoscope elevator. We reached into the bile duct again and placed a double-pigtail plastic stent successfully.
