Abstract

AbstractEndoscopic interventions have become increasingly popular in the management of obstructive jaundice. In this case study, we present a case of complex Bismuth type 4 hilar stricture in an elderly lady presenting with obstructive jaundice. Complete endoscopic biliary drainage was accomplished successfully by placement of three metal stents – two with ERCP and one with Endoscopic Ultrasound (EUS) guided hepatico-gastrostomy. She developed cholecystitis later, which was successfully addressed by EUS guided gallbladder drainage using a cautery enhanced lumen apposing metal stent. Thus, a complete internal biliary drainage was achieved with endoscopic interventions.
