- Question
Evidence on the safety and efficacy of endoscopic ultrasound-guided biliary drainage (EUS-BD) for biliary obstruction caused by distal malignant disease is adequate to support using this procedure. This is provided that standard arrangements are in place for clinical governance, consent and audit. Find out what standard arrangements mean on the NICE interventional procedures guidance page.
- Any explanatory notes
(if applicable) Further research should report details of patient selection, where the obstruction is, and whether this procedure has been done after failed endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography.
