Core Tip	In recent years, several meta-analyses and randomized controlled trials have evaluated the efficacy of endoscopic ultrasound-guided biliary drainage (EUS-BD) vs percutaneous transhepatic cholangiodrainage (PTCD) in managing malignant biliary obstruction after failed endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography. Nevertheless, given that most of these studies preceded 2015, the potential of recent EUS-BD advancements, such as electrocautery-enhanced technique, remains largely unexplored. Consequently, there is a pressing need for additional research to conclusively determine whether these novel EUS-BD techniques can effectively supplant established treatments such as PTCD.
