Abstract

It is not uncommon to encounter difficult cannulation during endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP), most of which can be performed by double-guide wire, pre-cut and other techniques. Endoscopic ultrasound-guided biliary drainage (EUS-BD) can be used as a remedial solution for ERCP failure. This article provides a very well experience in ERCP combine with EUS-RV technique in cases where the duodenal papilla is located above the medial diverticulum. At the same time, some skills of EUS-RV are provided for endoscopists.
