| Core Tip |
Endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) has emerged as a valuable tool for diagnosing and managing biliary strictures. This systematic review and meta-analysis found that EUS-guided fine-needle aspiration is superior to conventional techniques for diagnosing malignant biliary strictures, with higher sensitivity while maintaining high specificity. For management, EUS-guided interventions showed significantly higher clinical success rates compared to conventional methods, though technical success rates were similar. EUS-guided biliary drainage and stenting appear promising for cases where endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography fails. However, more research is needed on the efficacy of various EUS-guided therapies for biliary strictures. Overall, EUS demonstrates an expanding and important role in biliary stricture diagnosis and treatment. |
