ABSTRACT Objectives Hilar cholangiocarcinoma often results in repeated early stent dysfunction and difficult‐to‐control cholangitis after drainage using endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP). In this study, we evaluated the effectiveness of additional drainage using endoscopic ultrasound‐guided biliary drainage (EUS‐BD) in patients with
