Commentary on the article written and published by Peng , investigating the role of endoscopic ultrasound (EUS)-guided biliary drainage for palliation of malignant biliary obstruction after failed endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP). For 40 years endoscopic biliary drainage was synonymous with ERCP, and EUS was used mainly for diagnostic purposes. The advent of therapeutic EUS has revolutionized the field, especially with the development of a novel device such as electrocautery-enhanced lumen-apposing metal stents. Complete biliopancreatic endoscopists with both skills in ERCP and in interventional EUS, would be ideally suited to ensure patients the best drainage technique according to each individual situation.
对彭撰写并发表的一篇文章的评论,该文章探讨了内镜超声(EUS)引导下胆管引流在经内镜逆行胰胆管造影(ERCP)失败后缓解恶性胆管梗阻中的作用。40年来,内镜胆管引流一直是ERCP的代名词,而EUS主要用于诊断目的。治疗性EUS的出现彻底改变了这一领域,尤其是随着电灼增强管腔贴附金属支架等新型设备的发展。具备ERCP和介入性EUS技能的完整的胆胰内镜医师,将最适合根据每个患者的具体情况为其提供最佳的引流技术。
