Endoscopic ultrasound and endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography: Can they be successfully combined?
2016, Gastroenterologia y HepatologiaCitation Excerpt :In cases of failed transpapillary ERCP cannulation, EUS-guided interventions could provide access for direct drainage, as the procedure was first described in 1996.62 Therefore, the combination of the two techniques in a single session offers the advantage of adding the potential of both techniques, allowing accurate diagnosis with endoscopic drainage.1,63 Despite the numerous potential advantages, implementation in clinical practice has encountered important obstacles regarding safety, diagnostic accuracy, and cost.
Single-session endosonography and endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography for biliopancreatic diseases is feasible, effective and cost beneficial
2013, Digestive and Liver DiseaseCitation Excerpt :Combining these procedures in a single session takes advantage of the strengths of both modalities, providing diagnostic and therapeutic possibilities [7,8]. Despite the numerous potential advantages without compromise in diagnostic accuracy of the combined strategy in some early reports [8–16], implementation in clinical practice can encounter important obstacles [9,13], and concerns do remain [1,7], including the development of complications, the question of which procedure should be the first, the question of whether biliary stent can alter the accuracy of EUS, and the worry as to whether EUS-guided BD should be attempted after a failed ERCP. Yet to date there are no studies with scientific evidence substantiating that this combined strategy is cost-effective.
