Two main reasons for a failed EUS- guided hepaticogastrostomy (EUS-HG) are, inability to access the bile ducts due to non-dilated intrahepatic ducts (IHD), and failure of tract dilation due to cirrhosis/ductal scarring or stent passage from misaligned vector forces…

Recently macroscopic-onsite evaluation (MOSE) technique for Endoscopic Ultrasound guided Tissue acquisition (EUS-TA) for solid gastrointestinal lesions has been advocated to provide high diagnostic accuracy in settings where rapid- onsite evaluation is not available…
