Figure 2 Placement of EMS (A) and EV drainage(B).
The guide wire was reinserted and the EV drainage catheter was substituted with an EMS system. The EMS was placed in the common bile duct between a point 1 cm beyond the papilla of Vater and the hepatic hilum, irrespective of the size of the stenosis lesion present. The EV drainage catheter was left in place to act as a hemostat at the insertion site of the liver.
