Direct peroral cholangioscopy using an ultrathin endoscope: making technique easier.
BACKGROUND Cholangioscopy is a useful tool for the study and treatment of biliary pathology. Ultrathin upper endoscopes allow direct peroral cholangioscopy (DPC) but have some drawbacks. OBJECTIVE The aim of the study was to evaluate the success rate of DPC with an ultrathin endoscope using a balloon catheter to reach the biliary confluence. MATERIAL AND METHODS Prospective observational st...
متن کاملA novel technique for peroral direct cholangioscopy.
Article Direct cholangioscopy has been possible since the 1970’s (1) but reliable intubation of the common bile duct (CBD) and second order ducts has limited the applicability of the technique. One of the limitations to accessing the ducts is the acute angulation between the duodenum and the CBD (2). Various methods have been employed to access the ducts including mother-and-baby endoscopes and...

expanded the horizons of interventional endoscopy [1]. Starting with rigid optical endoscopes that could access only either end of the digestive system, endoscopy evolved to enable visualization of the en− tire gastrointestinal tract with the devel− opment of capsule endoscopy and dou− ble−balloon enteroscopy [2]. However, the biliary−pancreatic system still re− mained a side track. The availab...
متن کاملClinical evaluation of a prototype multi-bending peroral direct cholangioscope
BACKGROUND Although peroral direct cholangioscopy (PDCS) is emerging as an alternative to traditional mother-daughter cholangioscopy, it is associated with high failure rates. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the ability to insert and carry out interventions using a prototype multi-bending PDCS. PATIENTS AND METHODS Prospective, observational clinical feasibility study was done in...

are rare, and occur when there is bile stasis and a nidus for stone conglomeration [1,2]. Endoscopic examination of the bile duct has traditionally been difficult and is not routinely performed. We report the first case of management of recurrent bile duct stones using an ultrathin upper endoscope. A 54-year-old woman presented for endoscopic retrograde cholangiography (ERC) for removal of bili...
