    Citation Excerpt :

    Accessing the biliary tree in patients with a surgically altered anatomy or upper GI stenosis has become an important issue nowadays. This has been widely demonstrated taking into account all different types of techniques described to overcome this problem [5–8,10–12,15,16]. Surgical common bile duct exploration was the gold-standard procedure for treatment of bile duct stones a few decades ago.

    Citation Excerpt :

    Choi et al. showed that ERCP via gastrostomy is hindered by the gastrostomy maturation delay and a higher morbidity [15]. Third, the latest approach consisted of endoscopic ultrasound-directed transgastric ERCP, where access to the excluded stomach is done through the creation of a gastro-gastric fistula tract, covered with a metallic stent that allowed the antegrade passage of a duodenoscope [16]. However, no cases after MGB procedure were reported.

    2018, Gastrointestinal Endoscopy
    Citation Excerpt :

    It is noteworthy that EUS-guided transgastric ERCP is currently an evolving and promising approach that involves deploying lumen-apposing metal stents through the newly formed gastrogastric fistula.18 The intended ERCP could then be performed by passing the endoscope into the remnant stomach through the lumen-apposing metal stent.18-20 This approach can potentially offer great advantages, including the lack of need for a surgical team, minimal invasiveness, and the higher success rate and shorter operative time compared with enteroscopy-assisted ERCP.

  • EUS-directed transgastric ERCP for Roux-en-Y gastric bypass anatomy: A minimally invasive approach

    2015, Gastrointestinal Endoscopy
    Citation Excerpt :

    Biliary access in Roux-en-Y gastric bypass patients can be challenging. Multiple different techniques, including enteroscopy-assisted ERCP, laparoscopy-assisted ERCP, and external EDGE, have been described.2,4,5 However, the optimal procedure is one that can be performed in 1 stage by a single team in a minimally invasive fashion.
