BACKGROUND/AIMS: Surgery is the mainstay of treatment for @entity2679 . However, @entity1085 ( @entity1085 ) has shown promise in debilitated or high-risk @entity1 . Endoscopic transpapillary @entity1085 and endoscopic ultrasound-guided @entity1085 (EUS- @entity1085 ) have been proposed as safe and effective modalities for @entity1085 drainage. METHODS: Data from @entity1 with @entity2679 were prospectively collected from August 2004 to May 2013 from two United States academic university hospitals and analyzed retrospectively. The following treatment algorithm was adopted. Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) with sphincterotomy and cystic duct stenting was initially attempted. If deemed feasible by the endoscopist, EUS- @entity1085 was then pursued. RESULTS: During the study period, 139 @entity1 underwent @entity1085 . Among these, drainage was performed in 94 and 45 cases for benign and malignant indications, respectively. Successful @entity1085 was defined as decompression of the @entity1085 without incidence of @entity2679 , and was achieved with ERCP and cystic duct stenting in 117 of 128 cases (91%). Successful @entity1085 was also achieved with EUS-guided @entity1085 drainage using transmural stent placement in 11 of 11 cases (100%). Complications occurred in 11 cases (8%). CONCLUSIONS: Endoscopic @entity1085 drainage techniques are safe and efficacious methods for @entity1085 decompression in non-surgical @entity1 with comorbidities.
