TI  - The Role of Lumen Apposing Metal Stents in the Palliation of Distal Malignant 
      Biliary Distal Obstruction.

AB  - Malignant biliary obstruction (DMBO) has been traditionally managed by endoscopic 
      retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP). In the case of ERC failure, 
      percutaneous transhepatic biliary drainage (PT-BD) has been widely utilized as a 
      salvage procedure. However, over the last decade, endoscopic ultrasound-guided 
      biliary drainage (EUS-BD) has gained increasing popularity, especially after the 
      advent of electrocautery-enhanced lumen apposing metal stent devices (EC-LAMSs) 
      which enable a one-step procedure, granting prevention of biliary leakage and 
      minimizing occurrence of adverse events (AEs). In parallel, increasing evidence 
      suggests a possible role of EUS-BD in the management of DMBO as a primary 
      palliative drainage modality. In the current paper, we aim to review all the 
      available evidence on the role of EUS-BD performed with EC-LAMSs and discuss 
      salient technical aspects of this type of procedure.
