73-year-old man with inoperable pancreatic cancer with two liver metastases was admited for obstructive jaundice and biliary dilation on abdominal CT. Retrograde drainage via ERCP failed due to duodenal stenosis even after baloon dilation. EUS-guided drainage was indicated. Anatomical situation was not suitable for hepaticogastrostomy or choledochoduodenostomy, therefore cholecystogastrostomy with LAMS (15 mm width, 10 mm lenght) was performed. Decrease of bilirubin level after procedure was very quick. Concurrent gastric outlet obstruction was treated with duodenal stent (23 mm width, 120 mm length). Paliative oncological treatment followed.
