Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) in patients with surgically altered anatomy remains a challenging procedure even for the more experienced endoscopists. We present a unique case of an ERCP performed in a patient with prior Whipple surgery, where biliary access was obtained via an endoscopic ultrasound (EUS)-guided rendezvous technique, and cannulation was ultimately done using a modified therapeutic endoscope with successful biliary drainage. |
