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 کاملSuccessful endoscopic treatment for Mirizzi syndrome type II under direct peroral cholangioscopy using an ultraslim upper endoscope.
Surgery is standard management for patients with Mirizzi syndrome. In cases of Mirizzi syndrome type II, laparoscopic surgery is evenmore complicated because of the cholecystocholedochal fistula. Endoscopic treatment for Mirizzi syndrome is still controversial except to relieve a bile duct obstruction [1,2]. This report describes a successful endoscopic treatment for Mirizzi syndrome type II wi...
متن کاملPeroral direct cholangioscopy for recurrent bile duct stones, using an ultrathin upper endoscope.
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...
متن کاملElectrohydraulic lithotripsy of large bile duct stones under direct cholangioscopy with a double-balloon endoscope.
The use of a short double-balloon endoscope facilitates the endoscopic removal of bile duct stones in patients with surgically altered anatomy [1,2]. However, the narrow and long working channel of the double-balloon endoscope occasionally makes the procedure difficult and timeconsuming. Herein, we present the case of a patient with a history of hepaticojejunostomy in whom large bile duct stone...
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...
