Fine Caliber Cholangioscopy

Radiologic Clinics of North America, 1990
The miniaturized diameters of endoscopes (miniendoscopes) allow percutaneous access for endoscopic visualization of the extrahepatic and intrahepatic biliary system. Practical aspects of different miniendoscopes in an experimental model are described.

Cholangioscopy and pancreatoscopy (with videos)

Gastrointestinal Endoscopy, 2009
Because the pancreatobiliary tract is not readily accessible to direct visualization by endoscopy, the tract remains a formidable challenge when it comes to differentiate benign from malignant pathologies. Thus, the evaluation of pancreatobiliary disease has relied on radiographic imaging by CT scan, magnetic resonance imaging, MRCP, ERCP, and EUS ...

Cholangioscopy in Liver Disease

Clinics in Liver Disease, 2014
Since its introduction, cholangioscopy has been used diagnostically and therapeutically. The working channel size has increased, permitting direct visualization for tissue sampling and to guide application of lithotripsy for difficult stones. Cholangioscopy utilizes endoscope and catheter-based systems.

Percutaneous Transhepatic Cholangioscopy

Techniques in Vascular and Interventional Radiology, 2015
The role of the interventional radiologist continues to expand in the treatment of biliary disease. Percutaneous transhepatic cholangioscopy (PTCS) provides direct visualization of the biliary system for diagnostic and therapeutic interventions, especially in cases where anatomical considerations prohibit a peroral approach.

Direct cholangioscopy and pancreatoscopy

Gastrointestinal Endoscopy Clinics of North America, 2003
Direct cholangiopancreatoscopy has played a minor role in the diagnosis and treatment of pancreaticobiliary disorders, initially because of instrument fragility and suboptimal imaging, and later because of improvements in noninvasive and semi-invasive imaging techniques.

Direct cholangioscopy

European Journal of Gastroenterology & Hepatology, 2012
Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) has long been a tool utilized by gastroenterologists for many years, but direct cholangioscopy has only recently begun to be available for regular use in clinical practice. The focus of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of a direct cholangioscopy system and its indications within our patient ...

[Peroral cholangioscopy].

Ugeskrift for laeger, 2019
Peroral cholangioscopy has been used since the 1970'es and provides direct visualization of the biliary tree, possibility of electrohydraulic or laser lithotripsy and visually guided biopsies. This paper presents an overview of the existing literature focusing on the Spyglass single-operator cholangioscopy system.

[Intraoperative cholangioscopy].

Khirurgiia, 1997
Intraoperative fibrocholangioscopy (FCS) was used in 446 patients with cholelithic disease and acute cholecystitis. 399 (89.5%) of the patients were hospitalized urgently. The use of FCS in patients with choledocholithiasis, obturative jaundice, cholangitis and pancreatitis is analysed. The safety and diagnostic accuracy of the method are proved.
