Endoscopic Evaluation of Premalignant Lesions in the Biliary Tract and Pancreatic Ducts
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Duodenoscopy, pancreatoscopy, cholangioscopy, confocal microscopy for Benign Neoplasm of Liver and/or Biliary Ducts and 3 related conditions. Completed, enrolled 50 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
Single operater pancreatico-cholangioscopy is performed through the working channel of conventional duodenoscopes. A visual evaluation of the biliary and pancreatic ductal systems is completed and obvious or suspicious macroscopic lesions are targeted by biopsy forceps. Evaluation of the usefulness of probe based confocal laser endomicroscopy in the evaluation of suspected premalignant lesions in the biliary duct and in the pancreas.
