Abstract

The palliation of simultaneous biliary and duodenal obstruction in patients with advanced pancreatic cancer is a clinically and technically challenging scenario. Endoscopic procedures are a valid alternative to surgical or percutaneous transhepatic biliary drainage. The availability of self-expanding metal stents (SEMSs) and lumen-apposing metal stents (LAMS) have expanded therapeutic options. We describe a case in which biliary and duodenal obstructions were treated successfully with the combined use of SEMS and LAMS devices. Endoscopic ultrasound-guided biliary drainage with the use of new LAMS and a duodenal SEMS can be a valid option in expert hands as a palliative and minimally invasive treatment for gastric outlet and biliary obstruction.
