Overview
Ultrasound is a widely available and inexpensive method used primarily for diagnostic purposes. However endoscopic ultrasonography (EUS) can be used as a procedure for biliary drainage as well as for diagnostic purposes. It is superior to ERCP in the detection of malignant transformations in the biliary tree. It has a lower complication rate and has been introduced lately as an alternative method of biliary drainage[1]
Future or investigational therapy for Ascending cholangitis
Ultrasound is a widely available and inexpensive method used primarily for diagnostic purposes. However endoscopic ultrasonography (EUS) can be used as a procedure for biliary drainage as well as for diagnostic purposes. It is superior to ERCP in the detection of malignant transformations in the biliary tree. It has a lower complication rate and has been introduced lately as an alternative method of biliary drainage[1].
