EUS-guided hepatogastrostomy (EUS-HGS) is an emerging technique of biliary decompression. We evaluated the efficacy of endoscopic dual biliary drainage using a combination of right-sided transpapillary stenting and left-sided EUS-HGS for unresectable malignant hilar biliary strictures (UMHBS). Three patients with high-grade UMHBS underwent endoscopic dual biliary drainage. Technical and clinical success rates were 3/3. Stent revisions were successfully performed via HGS route in all cases. The mean follow-up period was 180 days and stent patency was sustained in all the period with stent revision. Endoscopic dual biliary drainage may provide a possible chance of longer stent patency and easier stent revision.
