Spyglass Direct Visualization System
نویسنده
چکیده
Although endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography is considered the gold standard to manage biliary disorders, it has its own limitations. The single-operator cholangioscopy (SOC) system (Spyglass) may offer an interesting compromise for most advanced biliary endoscopists, in terms of size (10 Fr diameter) and complexity of use. SOC is a great step toward intraductal visualization and therapy but the best is yet to come.

Preclinical characterization of the Spyglass peroral cholangiopancreatoscopy system for direct access, visualization, and biopsy.
BACKGROUND Current cholangioscopes are restricted to 2 deflection angles and require more than 1 operator. The newly developed Spyglass peroral cholangiopancreatoscopy system provides 4-way deflected steering by a single operator. OBJECTIVE To evaluate access and biopsy in all simulated biliary-duct quadrants with the Spyglass system, high-level disinfection of the reusable Spyglass optical p...
متن کاملPeroral cholangioscopy in a patient with a Billroth II gastrectomy using the SpyGlass Direct Visualization System.
altered gastrointestinal anatomy is challenging because of the technical difficulties associated with accessing the papilla and the high rate of complications experienced when using a side-viewing duodenoscope [1]. The recently developed SpyGlass Direct Visualization System (Microvasive Endoscopy, Boston Scientific, Natick, Massachusetts, USA) can be passed through a forward-viewing endoscope b...

INTRODUCTION To evaluate the efficacy of combined endoscopic lithotomy and extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy (ESWL), and additional electrohydraulic lithotripsy (EHL) as needed, for the treatment of pancreatic duct stones, we retrospectively evaluated 98 patients with chronic pancreatitis and pancreatic lithiasis. METHODS For the management of main pancreatic duct (MPD) stones in 98 patie...
متن کاملA novel approach in benign biliary stricture - balloon dilation combined with cholangioscopy-guided steroid injection.
The first-line endoscopic strategy for the treatment of benign biliary stricture (BBS) consists of balloon dilation combined with the placement of multiple plastic stents, which has a success rate of more than 80%. Nevertheless, stricture may recur in 10% to 30% of cases after initial resolution [1,2]. Cholangioscopy is a useful adjunct to endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) f...
متن کاملSpyglass: A System for Ontology Based Document Retrieval and Visualization
This paper describes the Spyglass tool, which is designed to help analysts explore very large collections of unstructured text documents. Spyglass uses a domain ontology to index documents, and provides retrieval and visualization services based on the ontology and the resulting index. The ontology based approach allows analysts to share information and helps to ensure consistency of results. T...
