Percutaneous cholangioscopy was performed to confirm complete closure of the choledochojejunostomy. Percutaneous cholangioscopy revealed complete closure of the anastomosis. Our attempt to pass a guidewire through the anastomosis failed accordingly.

EUS-guided antegrade intervention for benign biliary diseases in patients with surgically altered anatomy (with videos)

Takayoshi Tsuchiya, Reina Tanaka, Mitsuyoshi Honjo … (2018)

Although balloon enteroscopy-assisted ERCP (BE-ERCP) is effective and safe for benign biliary diseases in patients with surgically altered anatomy (SAA), BE-ERCP is not always successful. Recently, EUS-guided antegrade intervention (EUS-AI) by using a 1-stage or 2-stage procedure has been developed for BE-ERCP failure cases. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the outcome of EUS-AI for benign biliary diseases in patients with SAA.

Magnetic Compression Anastomosis for the Treatment of Post-Transplant Biliary Stricture

Sung Jang, Jae Hee Cho, Dong Ki Lee (2020)

A number of different conditions can lead to a bile duct stricture. These strictures are particularly common after biliary operations, including living-donor liver transplantation. Endoscopic and percutaneous methods have high success rates in treating benign biliary strictures. However, these conventional methods are difficult to manage when a guidewire cannot be passed through areas of severe stenosis or complete obstruction. Magnetic compression anastomosis has emerged as an alternative nonsurgical treatment method to avoid the mortality and morbidity risks of reoperation. The feasibility and safety of magnetic compression anastomosis have been reported in several experimental and clinical studies in patients with biliobiliary and bilioenteric strictures. Magnetic compression anastomosis is a minimally traumatic and highly effective procedure, and represents a new paradigm for benign biliary strictures that are difficult to treat with conventional methods.
