Technology Status Evaluation Reports

Technology status evaluation reports provide a review of existing, new, or emerging endoscopic technologies that have an impact on the practice of GI endoscopy. Reports are based on an evaluation of medical literature and a search of the MAUDE (U.S. Food and Drug Administration Center for Devices and Radiological Health) database to identify the reported adverse events of a given technology. When financial guidance is indicated, the most recent coding data and list prices at the time of publication are provided. Technology status evaluation reports are scientific reviews based on expert consensus and are provided solely for educational and informational purposes.

The members of the 91ƵTechnology Committee provide ongoing conflict of interest (COI) disclosures throughout the development and publication of all documents in accordance with the 91ƵPolicy for Managing Declared Conflicts of Interests.

If you have any questions or suggestions, please contact Customer Support at Info@asge.org.

The following information is intended only to provide general information and not as a definitive basis for diagnosis or treatment in any particular case. It is very important that you consult your doctor about your specific condition.

Cholangiopancreatoscopy 2016

Nov 15, 2016, 19:12
Cholangiopancreatoscopy (CP) enables direct endoscopic visualization of the biliary and pancreatic ductal systems. Cholangioscopy originated as an intraoperative procedure, performed for the localization of stones during common bile duct exploration. Cholangioscopy was subsequently used as an adjunct technique during percutaneous transhepatic cholangiography for stricture and stone visualization and treatment.1,2-4 CP is today most commonly performed via the per-oral approach during ERCP, for managing difficult stones, and for evaluating pancreaticobiliary strictures. Traditional “mother-daughter” per-oral CP required 2 endoscopists, 1 controlling the cholangioscope, while the second controlled the duodenoscope.5 Subsequently, a single-operator fiberoptic cholangioscope (SpyGlass; Boston Scientific, Natick, Mass) system was introduced, which removed many of the logistical difficulties inherent in requiring 2 endoscopists.6-9 A further development has been that of direct per-oral cholangioscopy (DPOC) that uses ultrathin endoscopes capable of digital imaging.5,10-14 The recent introduction of a digital imaging version of the single-operator cholangioscope (SpyGlass DS; Boston Scientific) together with the evolution of DPOC have significantly increased the diagnostic and therapeutic capabilities of CP.
