Summary

This study compares two procedures to relieve bile duct blockage caused by cancer. About 120 patients with pancreatic or bile duct cancer will be randomly assigned to get either a newer ultrasound-guided drainage or the standard ERCP procedure. The goal is to see which method has fewer failures and causes less pancreatitis.
