Usefulness of combined percutaneous-endoscopic rendezvous techniques after failed therapeutic endoscopic retrograde cholangiography in the era of endoscopic ultrasound guided rendezvous
نویسندگان
چکیده
The rendezvous approach is a salvage technique after failure of endoscopic retrograde cholangiography (ERC). In certain circumstances, percutaneous-endoscopic rendezvous (PE-RV) is preferred, and endoscopic ultrasound-guided rendezvous (EUS-RV) is difficult to perform. We aimed to evaluate PE-RV outcomes, describe the PE-RV techniques, and identify potential indications for PE-RV over EUS-RV.Retrospective analysis was conducted of a prospectively designed ERC database between January 2005 and December 2016 at a tertiary referral center including cases where PE-RV was used as a salvage procedure after ERC failure.During the study period, PE-RV was performed in 42 cases after failed therapeutic ERC; 15 had a surgically altered enteric anatomy. The technical success rate of PE-RV was 92.9% (39/42), with a therapeutic success rate of 88.1% (37/42). Potential indications for PE-RV over EUS-RV were identified in 23 cases, and either PE-RV or EUS-RV could have effectively been used in 19 cases. Endoscopic bile duct access was successfully achieved with PE-RV in 39 cases with accessible biliary orifice using one of PE-RV cannulation techniques (classic, n = 11; parallel, n = 19; and adjunctive maneuvers, n = 9).PE-RV uses a unique technology and has clinical indications that distinguish it from EUS-RV. Therefore, PE-RV can still be considered a useful salvage technique for the treatment of biliary obstruction after ERC failure.

Endoscopic ultrasound-guided biliary drainage: a review
Endoscopic retrograde cholangiography (ERCP) is widely used as a first-line therapy for biliary drainage. ERCP occasionally fails owing to anatomical or technical problems, despite high reported success rates. Endoscopic ultrasound-guided biliary drainage (EUS-BD) has recently emerged as an effective alternative biliary drainage method after unsuccessful ERCP. EUS-BD can be essentially divided ...

Endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) was developed as a diagnostic modality but rapidly gained a role for a variety of therapeutic applications. Endoscopic ultrasonography (EUS)‐guided cholangio pancreatic drainage has been reported as an alternative to surgery or percutaneous transhepatic cholangiography if endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) is unsuccessful. Its concept includes EUS‐...

Endoscopic retrograde cholangiography (ERC) is the most common method employed for drainage of malignant biliary obstructions. When ERC fails, bypass, either percutaneously or surgically, is available; more recently, endoscopic ultrasound-guided biliary drainage (EUS-BD) has been described [1–3]. Most endoscopists perform EUS-BD using a rendezvous approach in which the bile duct is accessed usi...

Endoscopic therapy by endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP), stricture dilation, and sequential multiple stent placement is the standard treatment option for benign biliary strictures, and has favorable results [1]. Occasionally, tight biliary stricture can pose a technical challenge by not allowing the guide wire to pass. Recently, endoscopic ultrasound (EUS)-guided biliary acc...

Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) has become the first-line therapy for bile duct drainage. In the hands of experienced endoscopists, conventional ERCP results in a failed cannulation rate of 3% to 5%. This failure can occur more commonly in the setting of altered anatomy or technically difficult cases due to either duodenal or biliary obstruction. In cases of ERCP failure, ...
