A 34-year-old woman was admitted to our clinic with abdominal pain, jaundice and pruritus. Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography was performed for cholestasis. Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) was judged as normal, after a standard ERCP cannula was used for the cholangiogram. However, marked canalicular irregularities were identified in cholangiography when pressur...

We have read with interest the review by Lee et al.1 titled “Endoscopic treatments of endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography-related duodenal perforations.” Herein, we would like to describe the management of an analogous case from among our experience of 3,000 endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatographies (ERCPs) in 8 years. An 84-year-old man underwent ERCP because of recurrent cho...

INTRODUCTION Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) has been the premier diagnostic and therapeutic endoscopic procedure in the management of pancreatic and biliary diseases (PBD). The use of endoscopic ultrasound (EUS), including EUS-guided fine needle aspiration (FNA), of pancreatic and biliary tumours has become more widely available in the last decade and has gradually replac...

We present a case of a 76-year-old man with right upper quadrant abdominal pain and weight loss, who was found to have an intraductal papillary neoplasm of the bile duct (IPNB) of the pancreaticobiliary subtype, deemed curatively resectable. The patient declined surgery and opted for endoscopic therapy. He underwent two sessions of endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP)-guided ra...

Hemobilia represents an uncommon cause of gastrointestinal bleeding that can present both diagnostic and therapeutic challenges. The evaluation of hemobilia typically involves cross-sectional imaging and endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP). There is limited data regarding the diagnostic utility of endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) in the evaluation of hemobilia. We present a case of...

abstract acase of 48-year-old male, hepatitis b cirrhosis , hepatic hydatid cyst, jaundice, fever, chills suffered from severe abdominal pain in the right upper quadrant. he was suffered from acute cholangitis and spontaneous bacterial peritonitis, and received intravenous antibiotics but his condition rapidly deteriorated to sepsis and severe hepatic failure. the presence of dilated common bil...

Wehere report on a novel approach to deliver a fully covered self-expanding metal stent (SEMS) into the bile duct during double-balloon enteroscopy (DBE)-assisted endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) using the overtube as an “accessory” or working channel. An 87-year-old woman with a history of a Billroth II reconstruction many years previously and complex choledocholithiasis h...

Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) has become the first-line therapy for bile duct drainage. In the hands of experienced endoscopists, conventional ERCP results in a failed cannulation rate of 3% to 5%. This failure can occur more commonly in the setting of altered anatomy or technically difficult cases due to either duodenal or biliary obstruction. In cases of ERCP failure, ...

BACKGROUND/AIMS Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) can be an effective treatment for bile leakage after liver transplantation. We evaluated the efficacy of endoscopic treatment in liver transplantation in patients who developed bile leaks. METHODS Forty-two patients who developed bile leaks after liver transplantation were included in the study. If a bile leak was observed ...
