Investigation of factors related to successful puncture of the intrahepatic bile duct in endoscopic ultrasound-guided biliary drainage
The angle of the scope and the puncture needle was identified as factors associated with the success of bile duct puncture. Applying a strong up-angle to the scope and minimizing the use of the elevator to adjust the angle between the scope and the puncture needle may improve the success rate of bile duct puncture during EUS-BD.
