endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP)-guided biliary drainage (ERCP-BD) with transpapillary stent placement is the standard palliative treatment for malignant distal biliary obstruction. Endoscopic ultrasound-guided biliary drainage (EUS-BD) has been evaluated for efficacy and safety as an alternative for failed ERCP.
