The Usefulness of Percutaneous Transhepatic Cholangioscopy for Identifying Malignancies in Distal Commom Bile Duct Strictures [PDF]
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

Removal of a migrated biliary stent using new digital cholangioscopy retrieval devices in a transplant patient [PDF]
A 51-year-old man who had undergone liver transplantation developed a symptomatic anastomotic biliary stricture 23 months after surgery. Endoscopic biliary therapy via endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) was planned. Progressive biliary

Role of Peroral Cholangioscopy in the Diagnosis of Primary Sclerosing Cholangitis
Primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC) is characterized by idiopathic biliary stricture followed by progressive cholestasis and fibrosis. When diagnosing PSC, its differentiation from other types of sclerosing cholangitis and cholangiocarcinoma is ...

Usefulness of texture and color enhancement imaging in peroral cholangioscopy
The application of peroral cholangioscopy (POCS) has been reported to be useful for detailed inspection of patients with biliary stricture [1, 2]. We report a case of biliary stricture that had undergone POCS using texture and color enhancement imaging ...
