The 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....
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 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 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 balloon dilatation of benign biliary strictures.
Between February 1981 and June 1984, 15 patients with benign biliary strictures were treated with percutaneous transhepatic balloon dilatation. Three of these patients had received liver transplants. The treatment began with a course of balloon dilatation therapy, after which a stent catheter was left across the stricture. Six weeks later, after duct patency had been shown by cholangiography, t...
