BACKGROUND AND AIMS: Endoscopy has replaced many radiologic studies for the GI tract. However, ERCP remains a hybrid endoscopic-fluoroscopic procedure, which limits its portable delivery, creates delays because of fluoroscopy room unavailability, and exposes patients and providers to radiation. We evaluated fluoroscopy/radiation-free management of patients with noncomplex choledocholithiasis using direct solitary cholangioscopy (DSC). METHODS: Patients underwent fluoroscopy-free biliary cannulation, sphincterotomy, and then cholangioscopy to establish location and number/size of stones and to document distance from ampulla to bifurcation to guide balloon advancement. Stones were extracted using a marked balloon catheter advanced to the bifurcation and inflated to the bile duct diameter, documented on prior imaging. Repeat cholangioscopy was performed to confirm stone clearance. RESULTS: Fluoroscopy-free biliary cannulation was successful in all 40 patients (100%). Advanced cannulation techniques were required in 5 patients. Papillary balloon dilation was performed in 8 patients and electrohydraulic lithotripsy in 3 patients. Discrete stones were visualized in 31 patients and stone debris/sludge in 8 patients. Fluoroscopy-free stone/debris/sludge extraction was successful in all these patients. Brief fluoroscopy was used in 2 patients (5%) to confirm stone clearance. No stone/debris/sludge was noted in 1 patient. Mild pancreatitis was noted in 2 patients (5%) and bleeding in 1 (2.5%). CONCLUSIONS: This study establishes the feasibility of fluoroscopy/radiation-free, cholangioscopic management of noncomplex choledocholithiasis with success and adverse event rates similar to standard ERCP. DSC represents a significant procedural advance in the management of biliary disorders that does not need to be confined to the fluoroscopy suite and can be reimagined as bedside procedures in emergency department or intensive care unit settings.

背景与目的:内镜已取代了许多胃肠道的放射学检查。然而,ERCP 仍然是一种内镜-透视混合的程序,这限制了其便携性,由于透视室不可用而导致延迟,并使患者和医务人员暴露于辐射下。我们评估了使用直接单纯胆管镜(DSC)对非复杂性胆总管结石患者进行无透视/辐射管理。
方法:患者进行无透视胆道插管、括约肌切开术,然后进行胆管镜检查以确定结石的位置和数量/大小,并记录从壶腹到分叉的距离,以指导球囊推进。使用标记的球囊导管推进至分叉处并充气至胆管直径来提取结石,该直径在先前的影像学检查中记录。重复胆管镜检查以确认结石清除。
结果:40 例患者(100%)均成功进行了无透视胆道插管。5 例患者需要先进的插管技术。对 8 例患者进行了乳头球囊扩张,对 3 例患者进行了液电碎石。31 例患者可见离散结石,8 例患者可见结石碎片/淤泥。所有这些患者均成功进行了无透视取石/碎石/取石碎片。2 例患者(5%)使用简短透视来确认结石清除。1 例患者未发现结石/碎片/淤泥。2 例患者(5%)出现轻度胰腺炎,1 例(2.5%)出现出血。
结论:本研究证实了非复杂性胆总管结石无透视/辐射、胆管镜管理的可行性,其成功率和不良事件发生率与标准 ERCP 相似。DSC 代表了胆道疾病管理方面的重大程序进展,它不需要局限于透视室,并且可以重新构想为急诊或重症监护病房环境中的床边程序。(临床试验注册号:NCT03074201)。
