Successful treatment for infected biloma after endoscopic ultrasound-guided hepaticogastrostomy using double stent placement technique

Abstract

This case report describes a treatment of an elderly man who had undergone pancreaticoduodenectomy (Whipple Procedure) due to bile duct cancer. Herein, we describe technical tips of endoscopic ultrasound (EUS)-guided hepaticojejunostomy EUS-HJS combined with EUS-guided antegrade stenting (EUS-AS) using novel plastic stent. First, intrahepatic bile duct was punctured using 19G fine needle aspiration needle. Next, the 0.025-inch guidewire was inserted into the biliary tract. After the guidewire was advanced into the intestine, the bile duct and the intestine wall were dilated using by balloon catheter. The covered metal stent delivery system was antegradely inserted across the stricture site, and stent placement was performed from the intestine to the bile duct. Finally, stent placement from the intrahepatic bile duct to the intestine using novel plastic stent was successfully performed without any adverse events.
