Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography in patients with surgical alterations in the normal biliary anatomy is technically challenging. We describe the case of a 73-year-old patient with an afferent limb syndrome secondary to a Whipple procedure for pancreatic cancer, in which a percutaneous rendezvous technique assisted in the endoscopic metallic stent placement with a favorable outcome.
