Abstract

Endoscopic ultrasound-guided gallbladder drainage (EUS-GBD) has been utilized as an alternative endoscopic technique for patients with acute cholecystitis. In addition to EUS-guided hepaticogastrostomy and EUS-guided cystogastrostomy, EUS-GBD has been reported as being useful for biliary drainage in cases with distal malignant biliary obstruction instead of conventional endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography. We present a case of successful EUS-GBD for malignant obstruction of an aberrant hepatic duct draining directly into the cystic duct.
