Percutaneous 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 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 کاملDiagnosis of Cancer Spread Using Percutaneous Transhepatic Biliary Cholangioscopy-guided Ultrasonography for Malignant Bile Duct Stenosis
The characteristics of sites of intramural cancer spread were examined by comparing the intraductal ultrasonography (IDUS) and wall thickening findings at sites of intramural cancer spread and non-spread, in patients with malignant bile duct stenosis who had undergone percutaneous transhepatic biliary drainage (PTBD).The subjects were ten patients with extrahepatic bile duct cancer, two with pa...
متن کاملRelationship Between Percutaneous Transhepatic Cholangioscopy Findings and Pattern of Carcinomatous Spread in the Bile Duct
To clarify the relationship between percutaneous transhepatic cholangioscopic findings such as papillogranular surface and vascular dilation, which are reportedly characteristic of carcinoma, and the pattern of spread for bile duct carcinomas, we compared endoscopic photographs with histological features of biopsy specimens in 57 regions of specimens from 35 patients with malignant stenosis of ...
متن کاملThe Usefulness of Percutaneous Transhepatic Cholangioscopy for Identifying Malignancies in Distal Commom Bile Duct Strictures
The diagnostic accuracy of percutaneous transhepatic cholangioscopy (PTCS) was compared to that of three radiologic modalities in distal common bile duct (CBD) strictures for the evaluation of clinical application. Ninety-five patients who underwent PTCS for the evaluation of distal CBD strictures (35 malignant and 60 benign) whose masses were not obvious from radiologic imagings were included....
