NCT03195075

Brief Summary

Endoscopic ultrasonography is a widely accepted modality for the diagnosis of gastrointestinal and pancreatic-biliary diseases. Endoscopic ultrasonography-guided biliary drainage has attracted attention as an alternative procedure to percutaneous trans-hepatic biliary drainage, with a technical success between 75%-100% and with low complication rate. Other important advantage of endoscopic ultrasonography-guided biliary drainage compared with external percutaneous trans-hepatic biliary drainage is better quality of life due to the internal placement of the stent.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (2)

  • Laboratory evaluation of efficacy of endoscopic ultrasonography and percutaneous trans-hepatic biliary drainage in malignant biliary obstruction.

    Evaluation of serum bilirubin and alkaline phosphatase by liver function test before and after the procedures

    Liver function test before the procedure and follow up changes after one week from procedures.

  • Radiological evaluation of efficacy of endoscopic ultrasonography and percutaneous trans-hepatic biliary drainage in malignant biliary obstruction

    Evaluation of biliary dilation by abdominal ultrasonography before and after the procedures,

    Biliary dilation before the procedures and follow up changes after one week from procedures.

Secondary Outcomes (1)

  • Evaluation of post-procedural complications

    Within six months from procedure.
