Percutaneous Cholangiopancreatoscopy Registry

Per standard treatment protocol for percutaneous cholangiopancreatoscopy, access will be gained into the biliary system using the biliary tube or into the gallbladder using the cholecystostomy tube. After access has been secured, through a peel-away sheath a Spy Glass Discover Digital Catheter will be introduced. Next, either, the stones will then be removed from the biliary system or gallbladder using a combination of baskets, and lithotripsy equipment as required, or in case of biliary strictures, a clamshell biopsy will be taken from the stricture site as identified on endoscopic visualization and cross-sectional imaging. Further intervention maybe performed for the stricture based on operator preference. After the complete stone removal/ stricture management the cholecystostomy/ biliary tube will be removed after the patient passes a clinical capping trial.
