We reported good results for endoscopic treatment of benign hepaticojejunostomy anastomotic stricture (HJAS) using two fully covered self-expandable metallic stents (FCSEMSs) with the saddle-cross technique [1]. A completely occluded HJAS requires drainage by percutaneous transhepatic biliary drainage (PTBD) or endoscopic ultrasound-guided hepaticogastrostomy (EUS-HGS) [2]; PTBD and EUS-HGS cannot be stent-free, which may decrease patients’ activities of daily living. We present a modified saddle-cross technique for a completely occluded HJAS using a forward-viewing echoendoscope and two FCSEMSs.
A 30-year-old man underwent duodenal gastrointestinal stromal tumor surgery. Liver dysfunction occurred 1 year postoperatively; computed tomography showed bile duct dilatation ([Fig. 1]). The transgastrointestinal approach and breakthrough in anastomosis under PTBD failed. The patient was referred to our hospital for internal fistulization ([Fig. 2]).

A forward-viewing endoscope was inserted up to the HJAS; anastomosis was confirmed using endoscopy and ultrasound ([Fig. 3]). The bile duct was punctured through the anastomosis using a 19-gauge needle (EZ shot 3 plus; Olympus Medical Systems), and a 0.025-inch guidewire (M-through; Medicoʼs Hirata, Osaka, Japan) was advanced into the bile duct. The fistula was dilated using an electrocautery dilator (Fine025; Medicoʼs Hirata) and an 8-mm dilation balloon (REN; Kaneka, Tokyo, Japan). Two guidewires were placed in the right and left bile ducts and two FCSEMSs (BONASTENT M-Intraductal, 8 mm, 3 cm; Medico's Hirata) were placed ([Fig. 4]). After PTBD removal, the two FCSEMSs were endoscopically removed 2 months postoperatively. Sufficient dilation of the fistula was observed ([Fig. 5]). The patient experienced no restenosis 6 months postoperatively.
Video 1 Internal fistulization of completely occluded hepaticojejunostomy anastomotic stricture is difficult. We performed endoscopic ultrasound-guided choledochojejunostomy using a forward-viewing echoendoscope and two metallic stents with a modified saddle-cross technique.
