Filter by:The purpose of this study is to investigate the feasibility and safety of endoscopic ultrasound-guided biliary drainage with a newly designed hybrid metallic stent.
This study is a prospective, randomized study to compare of outcome of fully covered metal stents with that of plastic stents for preoperative biliary drainage in distal common bile duct cancer, pancreas head cancer or ampullary cancer with respect to the incidence of stent-related adverse events, the re-intervention rate, the effectiveness of biliary drainage, surgical outcomes and hospital stays.
Precut-sphincterotomy is a well established alternative after repeated futile attempts for common bile duct (CBD) cannulation with standard catheters and/or guide-wires fail. Commonly used devices instruments for pre-cutting are the needle-knife and the Erlangen-type precut-sphincterotome. In 1996 a so called "baby-sphincterotome" (Easy-Cut®, MTW, Wesel, Germany) with a pre-shaped-bended (to facilitate biliary access) small-calibre 3-French tip was developed, which enables cannulation and pre-cutting in one step. Here the investigators report on the clinical evaluation of this device.
The purpose of this study is to determine the feasibility, easy removability, safety, and migration rate of flared end fully covered self-expanding metal stent (FCSEMS) and anchoring FCSEMS for benign biliary stricture.
The endomicroscopy is an adaptation of traditional optical microscopy in the digestive endoscopy. Furthermore, with the integration of a miniaturized laser confocal microscope to a videoendoscope, it's possible to study the digestive mucous by "optical biopsy". This monocentric, non randomized and prospective study uses the Intra-ductal confocal endomicroscopy for the characterization of pancreas and bile duct tumor.
The aim of the present study was to evaluate the use of drotaverine hydrochloride versus hyoscine-N-butylbromide in reducing duodenal motility during diagnostic and therapeutic ERCP.
