Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
The difference in the 6-month RBO rate between the self-expanding metal stent placed to treat bile duct obstruction due to cancer using ERCP technique and the EUS-HGS technique at 6 months after end of the intervention EUS-guided hepaticogastrostomy (EUS-HGS), endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP)
Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
The differences in the technical success rate, clinical success rate, survival rate, patency time, quality of life, and incidence of adverse events at 6 months after end of the intervention EUS-guided hepaticogastrostomy (EUS-HGS), endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP)
