抄録
<p>A 93-year-old man presented to our hospital with a fever, abdominal pain, and jaundice. Computed tomography revealed bilateral bile duct dilation, cystic lesions with bile duct communication, and intraluminal solid nodules arising from the bile duct wall. The patient was diagnosed with intraductal papillary neoplasm of the bile duct. Surgery was not performed, considering the patient's age. It was impossible to control cholangitis using conventional endoscopic therapy. We therefore created an access route to the bile duct using endoscopic ultrasound-guided choledochoduodenostomy and inserted a lumen-apposed metal stent. Thereafter, we performed argon plasma coagulation of the tumor in the bile duct, which successfully prevented cholangitis recurrence. </p>
