Background: Percutaneous transhepatic biliary drainage (PTBD) may be the last resort for an occluded biliary metal stent when the ERCP was unsuccessful.Objective: Because an EUS-guided biliary drainage has been proposed as an effective alternative for PTBD after a failed ERCP we conducted this study to determine the feasibility and usefulness of an EUS-guided hepaticogastrostomy (EUS-HG) with a fully covered self-expandable metal stent (FCSEMS) for an Occluded biliary metal stent after a failed ERCPDesign: A case studySetting: A tertiary referral center.Patients and Interventions: Five patients who had an occluded biliary metal stent inserted after a hilar bilateral metal stent or a combined duodenal and biliary metal stent insertion and for whom reinterventional ERCP was unsuccessful underwent an EUS-HG with an FCSEMS for alternative PTBD.Main Outcome Measurements: Technical and functional Success, procedural complications, reinterventional rate after EUS-HG with an FCSEMS, and short-term stent patency.Results: In all 5 patients, an EUS-HG with in FCSEMS was technically successful. No procedural complications, Such as bile peritonitis, cholangitis, and pneumoperitoneum, were observed. Functional success was also 100% (5/5). During the follow-up period (median 152 days, range 64-184 days), no late complications, Such as stent migration and Occlusion, were observed. Thus, no biliary reintervention was performed during the follow-up period.Limitations: A small series of patients Without a Control group.Conclusions: The EUS-HG with in FCSEMS may be feasible, effective, and an alternative PTBD for an Occluded biliary metal stent after a failed ERCP
