Abstract

EUS-directed transgastric ERCP (EDGE) has emerged as a viable, completely endoscopic method for performing pancreaticobiliary interventions in patients with Roux-en-Y gastric bypass anatomy. The aims of this systematic review are: 1) to describe indications, outcomes and complications of EDGE; and 2) to identify deficiencies in our knowledge of important technical approaches and clinical outcomes.
