In Brief
A clinical study evaluating EUS-BD and ERCP for Pancreatic Cancer and 2 related conditions. Completed, enrolled 67 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
The purpose of this study is to compare the rates of adverse events between patients undergoing Endoscopic Ultrasound- guided biliary drainage and Endoscopic Retrograde Cholangiopancreatography for distal malignant biliary obstruction.

Timeline
Interventions
EUS-BD is a minimally invasive technique where the common bile duct (choledochoduodenostomy) is punctured under EUS-guidance and after transmural dilation, a stent is deployed for biliary drainage.
During the ERCP, a small catheter and guidewire is inserted into the bile duct and the stent can be deployed into the duct.
