Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) is commonly required in pregnancy for choledocholithiasis, however, radiation exposure is a major concern for patients. Real-time transabdominal (TA) ultrasound (US)-guided ERCP is a radiation-free technique that facilitates confirmation of biliary cannulation, equipment exchange and stone clearance. We present the largest Western case series of this modality in pregnancy and a review of the literature. Four pregnant adult patients were referred to our tertiary center with suspected or documented choledocholithiasis and underwent real-time TA US-guided ERCP. US was successfully used to confirm positioning of the guidewire and ductal clearance. Procedures were successful in all patients with resolution of clinical symptoms and no immediate procedural complications. Two patients suffered adverse events later in their pregnancy. Real-time TA US-guided ERCP is a technically feasible and effective modality that can be offered to obtain biliary access in a radiation-free fashion for specific subsets of pregnant patients with choledocholithiasis. Future studies are needed to confirm the safety of this technique.
内镜逆行胰胆管造影术(ERCP)常用于孕期胆总管结石的治疗,但辐射暴露是患者主要担忧的问题。实时经腹(TA)超声(US)引导下的ERCP是一种无辐射技术,有助于确认胆管插管、设备更换和结石清除。我们展示了西方最大的孕期该术式病例系列,并对相关文献进行综述。四名成年孕妇因疑似或确诊胆总管结石被转诊至我们的三级中心,并接受了实时TA US引导下的ERCP。超声成功用于确认导丝位置和胆管清除情况。所有患者手术均成功,临床症状缓解,且无术中即刻并发症。两名患者在孕期后期出现不良事件。实时TA US引导下的ERCP是一种技术上可行且有效的术式,可为特定的孕期胆总管结石患者提供无辐射方式的胆管通路。未来需要进一步研究以确认该技术的安全性。
