SpyGlass percutaneous transhepatic cholangioscopy-guided lithotripsy of a large intrahepatic stone.
Occasionally, biliary stone management can be really challenging, depending on location, size, number, altered anatomy, and presence of strictures [1]. Although different approaches can be used in this setting, such as endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP), percutaneous transhepatic biliary drainage (PTBD), and extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy or surgery [2], more complex c...
متن کاملPercutaneous Transhepatic Cholangioscopy in Bilioenteric Anastomosis Stricture
Bilioenteric anastomosis strictures are a serious complication of biliary surgery, and often result in recurrent cholangitis, choledocholithiasis, biliary cirrhosis, and hepatic failure. Bilioenteric reconstructive surgery is the standard treatment of choice for such complications. However, percutaneous transhepatic cholangioscopy (PTCS), also known as per-oral endoscopic-guided intervention, i...
متن کاملPercutaneous Transhepatic Cholangioscopy: Does Its Role Still Exist?
Percutaneous transhepatic cholangioscopy (PTCS) is the most widely used modality for diagnosis and treatment of biliary disease. Although many other novel technologies have been developed based on recent advances in endoscopy, PTCS has its own role. In diagnostics, PTCS is used for evaluation of indeterminate biliary strictures, bile duct tumors, and postoperative biliary strictures that cannot...
متن کاملPercutaneous transhepatic cholangioscopy for indeterminate biliary strictures using the SpyGlass system: a case series.
Peroral cholangioscopy is useful in differentiating benign from malignant biliary strictures. However, when conventional biliary access via endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) fails, percutaneous transhepatic cholangioscopy (PTCS) via the SpyGlass cholangioscopy system can be used to achieve a diagnosis. Four patients with biliary strictures in whom conventional ERCP was not p...
متن کاملHepatic Encephalopathy due to Congenital Multiple Intrahepatic Portosystemic Venous Shunts Successfully Treated by Percutaneous Transhepatic Obliteration
Hepatic encephalopathy due to intrahepatic portosystemic venous shunts (IPSVS) in a non-cirrhotic condition is rare. Here we report a rare case of a patient with congenital multiple IPSVS successfully treated by percutaneous transhepatic obliteration.
