Long-term outcomes of EUS-guided choledochoduodenostomy using a lumen-apposing metal stent for malignant distal biliary obstruction: a prospective multicenter study

This study revealed that the novel dedicated LAMS used has high technical and clinical success rates for EUS-CDS. The adverse events and patency rates are inferior to the historically reported data of a conventional transpapillary metal stent. Development of a more suitable dedicated LAMS is anticipated.
