SpyGlass by single-operator in ERCP-guided cholangiopancreatoscopy system for bile-duct disorders / 中华消化内镜杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective To evaluate the clinical utility of SpyGlass single-operator ERCP-guided cholangiopancreatoscopy system for the diagnosis and treatment of bile duct disorders.Methods A total of 9 patients with biliary diseases were treated with SpyGlass single-operator ERCP-guided cholangiopancreatoscopy system.Four patients with large bile duct stones accepted laser lithotripsy,and stones were removed by ERCP.Five patients with indeterminate bile duct stricture accepted cholangioscopy-guided sampling.All patients underwent ENBD,routine blood test,blood amylase test,oral food and water restriction,acid suppression and prophylactic antibiotics.Results SpyGlass was successful in all patients with a manipulating time of 21.2min and total procedure time of 46.2min.Complete stone clearance was achieved in all 4 patients with large biliary stones.Sample quality was adequate in all patients with bile duct stricture with 2 patients diagnosed as having malignant biliary tumor and 3 as inflammatory bile duct stenosis.Post-ERCP complications including mild pancreatitis in 2 patients,and the patients recovered gradually after corresponding treatment.Conclusion ERCP-guided cholangiopancreatoscopy with the SpyGlass system is technically feasible and can be successfully and safely performed in patients with biliary disorders.
