EUS-guided Hepaticogastrostomy in Patients with Whipple's procedure: Deceived by Fluoroscopy, EUS vision to rescue
Abstract Text Endoscopic ultrasound guided hepatico-gastrostomy (EUS-HGS) is technically challenging procedure. Guidewire manipulation during EUS-HGS is a rate limiting step. Primarily we rely on fluoroscopy during guidewire manipulation. In this case we have demonstrated how EUS vision helped in accurate positioning of guidewire when it got mal-positioned into hepatic parenchyma during EUS HGS.
A-65year-male with history of Whipple's procedure for pancreas head malignancy 2 years back, presented with recurrence of tumor at porta hepatis and obstructive jaundice. He had hilar stricture with surgically altered anatomy. In this patient we have performed EUS-HGS and troubleshooted mal-positioned guidewire using EUS vision.
