Endoscopic Ultrasound Guided Rendezvous or Direct Interventions Versus Advanced ERCP Techniques for Biliary Access and Therapy
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating EUS-Rendezvous or direct intervention and Advanced ERCP Biliary Access Techniques for Disorders of Gallbladder and Disorders of Biliary Tract. Completed, enrolled 226 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
The purpose of this study is to prospectively compare the efficacy of endoscopic ultrasound-guided biliary interventions (EUS-rendezvous or direct EUS-guided therapy) to that of advanced ERCP cannulation techniques in the setting of difficult cannulation. We hypothesize that EUS-guided interventions will be more successful and may be associated with the same complications as using advanced ERCP techniques in cases of difficult bile duct access.
