EUS-directed transgastric ERCP is a well-known technique to access to excluded stomach after Roux-en-Y-bypass through gastro-gastrostomy or jejunogastrostomy. We described here a new approach for ERCP by performing a EUS-guided gastrojejunostomy of the afferent limb in a patient with previous Wipple procedure (EUS-GJ), referred with jaundice and pruritus.
Management with EUS-guided hepaticogastrostomy was not possible. We decided to access to the afferent limb of the surgical hepatico-jejunostomy, by performing a EUS-guided gastrojejunostomy (Video step 1), then accessing to the choledoco-jejunal surgical anastomosis (Video step2).
EDGJE with EUS-GJ is another modality to treat biliary stricture in patients with altered anatomy.
