Abstract:Objectives:
Although cytologic examination of biliary stricture brushings obtained via endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) is commonly used for diagnosing malignant biliary strictures (MBSs), it has low sensitivity. Several new brushes have capabilities that are still being debated. We have developed a novel brush working from conventional back-and-forth movement to rotation in situ (RIS) that may be more efficient for MBS sampling. We aimed to compare the MBSs detection sensitivi… Show more
