Best Practices in Pancreatico-biliary Stenting and EUS-guided Drainage. Journal of clinical gastroenterology Medas, R., Ferreira-Silva, J., Girotra, M., Barakat, M., Tabibian, J. H., Rodrigues-Pinto, E. 2022

Abstract

Indications for endoscopic placement of endoluminal and transluminal stents have greatly expanded over time. Endoscopic stent placement is now a well-established approach for the treatment of benign and malignant biliary and pancreatic diseases (ie, obstructive jaundice, intra-abdominal fluid collections, chronic pancreatitis etc.). Ongoing refinement of technical approaches and development of novel stents is increasing the applicability and success of pancreatico-biliary stenting. In this review, we discuss the important developments in the field of pancreatico-biliary stenting, with a specific focus on endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography and endoscopic ultrasound-associated developments.
