Filter by:pancreatic or biliary-tract cancer can be a serious diagnosis, as many patients present too late for surgery. Cancer cells have been found to release small messenger molecules called that regulate cancer genes called microRNAs (miRNAs). The goal of this observational study is to learn about the role of miRNAs from bile and blood samples in patients with pancreatic cancer and bile duct cancer. The main question[s] it aims to answer are: - Can this detect patients presenting with jaundice (yellow-skin) undergoing endoscopy? - Can this distinguish between the types of cancer? Participants will have blood and bile samples collected prior to diagnosis and their clinical pathway will be followed up for 6 months.
Conventional peroral methods to visualize biliary strictures are not feasible in some patients with altered anatomy or biliary obstruction, and percutaneous transhepatic cholangioscopy can be used as an alternative procedure. This study aimed to retrospectively review the use of percutaneous transhepatic cholangiography using the SpyGlass DS technology (S-PTCS) during a 5-year period at a Danish tertiary referral center.
To evaluate during a 7 months period the efficacy, safety and accuracy of percutaneous transluminal forceps biopsy combined with transhepatic biliary drainage in patients with biliary stricture
To assess safety and effectiveness in the long term of percutaneous insertion of Biodegradable (BD) Biliary Stents for the treatment of benign biliary strictures, in a single center experience.
The aims of this study are to compare the needle knife fistulotomy (NKF) technique versus the partial ampullary endoscopic mucosal resection (PA-EMR) technique in patients with difficult biliary cannulation and to assess the incidence rate of complications between these cannulation methods.
DNA methylation biomarker for diagnosis of cholangiocarcinoma in patients with bile duct stricture has high sensitivity and specificity compared with cytology from the brush specimens
The aim of this prospective national multicenter randomized study is to compare, during an ERCP for VBP stenosis, the sensitivity of two biliary brushes: the INFINITY® vs the RX Cytology Brush® The main objective is the comparison of the rates of positive diagnosis of biliary brushing in cases of adenocarcinoma stenosis The total number of subjects required: 50 (25 patients per group) Duration of the inclusion period: 2 years Duration of participation for each subject: from 7 days to 12 months (in case of negative initial withdrawal) Total duration of the study: 3 years
The study was designed as a prospective cohort study. The effects of hot and cold ischemic times during live donor liver transplantation on postoperative 1-3 and 6 month follow up biliary complications will be investigated.
ERCP with brush cytology has a poor to moderate accuracy in unclear biliary lesions. Endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) with fine needle aspiration (FNA) for cytology may override some of these shortcomings. The current prospective study, performed in a tertiary University center, aims to study the feasibility, the accuracy and the clinical value of combinatory ERCP and EUS in unclear biliary lesions.
Evaluation of ERCP with placement of a winged plastic biliary stent without a lumen for management of benign biliary strictures.
