Exclusion criteria

Exclusion criteria: 1) Patients with a history of surgical resection of the right hepatic lobe. 2) Patients at high risk of bleeding: Platelet count < 50,000 PT-INR >= 1.5 APTT >= 1.5 times the upper limit of normal 3) Patients with gastrointestinal stenosis. 4) Patients with massive ascites in whom a safe puncture route cannot be secured. 5) Patients with active infection or uncontrolled cholangitis or sepsis. 6) Patients in whom the operator judges that lesion visualization or a safe puncture route cannot be achieved by EUS. 7) Patients deemed inappropriate for this study by the attending physician.
