Early cholangioscopy-assisted electrohydraulic lithotripsy in difficult biliary stones is cost-effective.

Project description:Background and aimsSingle-operator cholangioscopy-assisted electrohydraulic lithotripsy (SOC-EHL) is effective and safe in difficult choledocholithiasis. The optimal timing of SOC-EHL use, however, in refractory stones has not been elucidated. The following aims to determine the most cost-effective timing of SOC-EHL introduction in the management of choledocholithiasis.MethodsA cost-effectiveness model was developed assessing three strategies with a progressively delayed introduction of SOC-EHL. Probability estimates of patient pathways were obtained from a systematic review. The unit of effectiveness is complete ductal clearance without need for surgery. Cost is expressed in 2018 US dollars and stem from outpatient US databases.ResultsThe three strategies achieved comparable ductal clearance rates ranging from 97.3% to 99.7%. The least expensive strategy is to perform SOC-EHL during the first endoscopic retrograde cholangiography pancreatography (ERCP) (SOC-1: 18,506$). The strategy of postponing the use of SOC-EHL to the third ERCP (SOC-3) is more expensive (US$18,895) but is 2% more effective. (0.9967). SOC-EHL during the second ERCP in the model (SOC-2) is the least cost-effective. Sensitivity analyses show altered conclusions according to the cost of SOC-EHL, effectiveness of conventional ERCP, and altered willingness-to-pay (WTP) thresholds with early SOC-1 being the most optimal approach below a WTP cut-off of US$20,295.ConclusionsEarly utilization of SOC-EHL (SOC-1) in difficult choledocholithiasis may be the least costly strategy with an effectiveness approximating those achieved with a delayed approach where one or more conventional ERCP(s) are reattempted prior to SOC-EHL introduction.

Single-operator cholangioscopy and electrohydraulic lithotripsy for the treatment of Mirizzi syndrome.

Project description:IntroductionMirizzi syndrome is an infrequent complication of long-standing cholelithiasis. Extrinsic compression of the common hepatic duct is usually caused by an impacted stone in Hartmann's pouch or cystic duct resulting in the development of cholecystobiliary fistula. This syndrome is classified based on the presence and severity of cholecystobiliary fistula. Mirizzi syndrome is challenging to diagnose preoperatively and may require complex biliary surgical procedures for resolution.ResultsWe present three patients with Mirizzi syndrome with different clinical presentations. All were successfully treated by cholangioscopy with electrohydraulic lithotripsy. Endoscopic treatment is a safe alternative with a high success rate. Single-operator cholangioscopy combined with lithotripsy has been shown to have a 90-100% success rate in the treatment of biliary stones.ConclusionHerein, we present our experience treating Mirizzi syndrome with single-operator cholangioscopy guided electrohydraulic lithotripsy. Difficult management of Mirizzi syndrome has led to research of new treatment options to minimize the risk of high-rate complications. Single-operator cholangioscopy in combination with laser lithotripsy is an adequate and safe alternative for the treatment of this condition.

Endoscopic retrieval of a proximally migrated biliary stent using extracorporeal shockwave lithotripsy, electrohydraulic lithotripsy, and cholangioscopy with minisnare.

Project description:Video 1ERCP was notable for a proximally migrated biliary stent. Cholangiogram demonstrated multiple filling defects consistent with choledocholithiasis surrounding the proximally migrated biliary stent. Retrieval of the stent was successful using cholangioscopy-directed electrohydraulic lithotripsy, extracorporeal shockwave lithotripsy, mechanical lithotripsy, and minisnare over the course of 2 ERCPs. Complete duct clearance of stones was accomplished with balloon sweeps.

Per-oral cholangioscopy in patients with primary sclerosing cholangitis: a 12-month follow-up study.

Project description:Background and study aims Patients with primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC) have a 9% to 20% lifetime incidence of cholangiocarcinoma (CCA). Per-oral cholangioscopy (POCS) added to endoscopic retrograde cholangiography (ERC) could potentially improve detection of CCA occurrence. We prospectively assessed POCS identification of 12-month CCA incidence in PSC patients undergoing ERC. Patients and methods Consecutive patients with PSC, an indication for ERC, and no prior liver transplantation were enrolled. During the index procedure, POCS preceded planned therapeutic maneuvers. The primary endpoint was ability for POCS visualization with POCS-guided biopsy to identify CCA during 12-month follow-up. Secondary endpoints included ability of ERC/cytology to identify CCA, repeat ERC, liver transplantation, and serious adverse events (SAEs). Results Of 42 patients enrolled, 36 with successful cholangioscope advancement were analyzed. Patients had a mean age 43.5±15.6 years and 61% were male. Three patients diagnosed with CCA had POCS visualization impressions of benign/suspicious/suspicious, and respective POCS-guided biopsy findings of suspicious/positive/suspicious for malignancy at the index procedure. The three CCA cases had ERC visualization impressions of benign/benign/suspicious, and respective cytology findings of atypical/atypical/suspicious for malignancy. No additional patients were diagnosed with CCA during median 11.5-month follow-up. Twenty-three repeat ERCs (5 including POCS) were performed in 14 patients. Five patients had liver transplantation, one after CCA diagnosis and four after benign cytology at the index procedure. Three patients (7.1%) had post-ERC pancreatitis. No SAEs were POCS-related. Conclusions In PSC patients, POCS visualization/biopsy and ERC/cytology each identified three cases of CCA. Some patients had a repeat procedure and none experienced POCS-related SAEs.

Laparoscopic SpyGlass cholangioscopy evaluation during bilioenteric anastomosis for hepatolithiasis, a case report.

Project description:IntroductionCareful evaluation of intrahepatic injury of biliary tract diseases is crucial to assure proper management and estimate disease prognosis. Hepatholithiasis is a rare condition that can be associated to cholestatic liver diseases. Additional tools to improve diagnosis and patient care are of great interest specially if associated to decreased morbidity. Recently the spread of single-operator platforms of cholangioscopy brought this procedure back to scene. Our aim was to identify safety, feasibility and utility of SpyGlass cholangioscopy of biliary tract during laparoscopic hepaticojejunostomy.Presentation of caseA 53 years-old man with hepatolithiasis associated to choledolithiasis under treatment with ursodeoxycholic acid and fenofibrate for 8 months, was submitted to laparoscopic hepaticojejunostomy with cholangioscopy for biliary duct evaluation. Spyscope was inserted through a right lateral laparoscopic trocar entering the common bile duct. Examination of intra-hepatic bile ducts showed injury of right biliary. Few microcalculi were visualized. Left biliary ducts presented normal mucosa. Histopathological examination showed a chronic inflammatory process. During the procedure contrasted radiologic images were performed to assure Spyscope location. Following cholangioscopy evaluation, a Roux-en-Y hepaticojejunostomy was performed. To enlarge hepatic duct, a small longitudinal incision was made, and a PDS-5.0 running suture was used for bilioenteric anastomosis. Patient was discharged on postoperative day 6, with drain removal on day 20.ConclusionSpyGlass cholangioscopy during laparoscopic hepaticojejunostomy is feasible leading to minimal additional invasion of the surgical. In this case the method was performed safely, providing detailed examination of injured biliary ducts, adding elements to determine disease prognosis and patient care.
