Abstract in brief

This meta-analysis compares endoscopic ultrasound-guided biliary drainage (EUSBD) and ERCP-guided transpapillary stenting for treating malignant biliary obstructions, finding no significant difference in clinical success or adverse events between the two methods.
The study suggests that EUSBD may have a lower risk of causing pancreatitis compared to ERCP, but overall, both procedures show similar effectiveness and safety profiles in primary decompression.
Despite promising results for EUSBD as an alternative, the authors emphasize the need for larger, well-designed studies to confirm these findings and explore differences in costs and complications more thoroughly.
