The main objective is to compare the EUS-BD with the insertion of a LAMS vs. traditional ERCP to restore biliary patency. Although ERCP has been the primary treatment for many years, it is associated with a significant risk of procedural complications and possible stent blockage. EUS-BD has been shown to be potentially safer and is associated with a lower risk of stent blockage. We seek with our study to determine whether EUS-BD may be the most effective treatment modality.
