Core Tip	Treatment methods were converted from an initially planned EUS-BD technique in a single endoscopic session in cases with difficulties. In 18.8% cases, treatment methods were converted to another EUS-BD technique. The technical and clinical success rates were 97.4% and 89.5%, respectively. Mild adverse events occurred in 10.5%. Final technical success rate of all 208 cases was 97.1%—much higher than that of the initially planned EUS-BD. When the initially planned EUS-BD was technically difficult, treatment method conversion during the single endoscopic session was likely to contribute to improvements in the technical success of EUS-BD, without leading to serious AEs.
