Study Arms (2)

EUS-BD

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

EUS-BD is a minimally invasive technique where the common bile duct (choledochoduodenostomy) is punctured under EUS-guidance and after transmural dilation, a stent is deployed for biliary drainage.

Procedure: EUS-BD

ERCP

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

At ERCP, the common bile duct will be selectively cannulated using a sphincterotome and guide wire technique. Once biliary access is obtained a stent will be deployed to facilitate biliary drainage.

Procedure: ERCP

Interventions

EUS-BDPROCEDURE

EUS-BD is a minimally invasive technique where the common bile duct (choledochoduodenostomy) is punctured under EUS-guidance and after transmural dilation, a stent is deployed for biliary drainage.

Also known as: Endoscopic Ultrasound-guided biliary drainage
EUS-BD
ERCPPROCEDURE

During the ERCP, a small catheter and guidewire is inserted into the bile duct and the stent can be deployed into the duct.

Also known as: Endoscopic Retrograde Cholangiopancreatography
ERCP

Eligibility Criteria

Age18 Years - 99 Years
Sexall
Healthy VolunteersYes
Age GroupsAdult (18-64), Older Adult (65+)

You may qualify if:

  • ≥ 18 years of age.
  • Has jaundice due to malignant distal (more than 3cm distal to liver hilum) biliary obstruction.
  • The subject (or when applicable the subject's LAR) is able to understand and willing to sign an informed consent form prior to the initiation of any study procedures.

You may not qualify if:

  • Age \<18 years
  • Females who are pregnant or lactating. Pregnancy in females of childbearing potential will be determined by routine preoperative urine HCG testing.
  • Coagulopathy which cannot be corrected (INR \>1.6, thrombocytopenia with platelet count \<50,000/ml)
  • Has surgically altered gastrointestinal anatomy such as but not limited to (Billroth II/Roux en-Y, gastric bypass).
  • Liver metastasis involving \>30% of liver volume.
  • Liver cirrhosis with portal hypertension and/or ascites.
