AbstractA 75-year-old man was referred for management of a hepaticojejunostomy (HJS) stricture following HJS performed for a bile duct injury during cholecystectomy 3 months prior. A short-type double-balloon enteroscopy (DBE) was attempted but was unsuccessful due to inability to reach the HJS. Endoscopic ultrasound (EUS)-guided transduodenal endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) for management of the HJS stricture was planned [1].

An EUS-guided duodenum–afferent limb bypass was first performed with a lumen-apposing metal stent (LAMS) between the duodenum and the afferent limb ([Video 1]). On EUS, the afferent limb was identified from the duodenum and punctured with a 19G needle (EZshot 3; Olympus Medical, Tokyo, Japan) ([Fig. 1]).The afferent limb was distended by infusion of 500 ml of normal saline mixed with indigo-carmine and contrast medium. Over a 0.025-inch guidewire, the delivery system of the cautery-enhanced LAMS delivery system (Hanarostent Z-EUS IT; M.I. Tech, Gyeonggi-do, South Korea) was inserted and a 16 × 20-mm stent was deployed into the afferent limb ([Fig. 2], [Fig. 3]) [2]. ERCP was subsequently performed after 3 days with a dual-channel endoscope inserted into the afferent limb via the LAMS. The HJS ([Fig. 4]) was dilated with a 6-mm biliary balloon (Hurricane Biliary RX; Boston Scientific, Marlborough, Massachusetts, USA). Two plastic stents were inserted into bilateral intrahepatic ducts.
