Abstract
Background and Aims null EUS-guided choledochoduodenostomy (EUS-CDS) using conventional tubular stents has been successfully performed. However, EUS-CDS carries a high risk of bile leakage with attendant adverse events. This study aimed to prospectively evaluate the long-term outcome of EUS-CDS using a dedicated lumen-apposing metal stent (LAMS). null Methods null Nineteen patients (mean age, 70.6 years; 12 men) with unresectable malignant...
