“…(14). Rocca et al (15) concluded that EUS and ERC with biliary treatment using an oblique-viewing echoendoscope appeared to be feasible and safe. This technique provided an accurate diagnosis and at the same time, an appropriate treatment of CBD stones.…”

“…In 2006, Rocca et al [21] reported the EUS diagnosis and simultaneous endoscopic retrograde cholangiography treatment of CBD stones by using an oblique-viewing echoendoscope in 19 patients with acute abdominal pain associated with increased liver tests. When biliary stones or sludge were found, bile duct cannulation and sphincterotomy were performed in the same session.…”

Background: Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) and endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) were initially introduced into the world of gastroenterology as purely diagnostic procedures. With progressive evolution of intervention, both these techniques conquered fields in the treatment of many conditions that had once been exclusively surgical domains. Nowadays, more and more clinical situations have an indication to perform both EUS and ERCP, and these two techniques are frequently required at the same time for the same patient. More than competitors, ERCP and EUS are truly complementary, with great ability for mutual aid. They share their main indications, equipment, accessories, and main technical gestures. Objectives and Methods: We review the major indications to perform both techniques, sequentially or complementarily, describe the common things that these two techniques essentially share, and discuss the ERCP-EUS single session. Also, the issues of learning curves and education of upcoming biliopancreatic endoscopists are highlighted. Conclusion: In recent years the complementation between ECRP and EUS has been growing both from a diagnostic and a therapeutic point of view, allowing optimization of the use of these techniques and the creation of a more systematized approach of patients with biliopancreatic pathology. Endoscopists with experience in both techniques will be increasingly important, suggesting a parallel formation in the training plans of future endoscopists with interest in the area.

“…For the common causes found in patients with unexplained pancreatitis, sphincterotomy (either biliary or pancreatic) or stent insertion could be performed. To overcome this disadvantage, Rocca et al recently presented a prototype oblique-viewing echoendoscope capable of performing EUS and ERCP in the same session [30] . Nineteen patients with acute abdominal pain associated with increased liver tests entered the study and underwent EUS.…”

Acute recurrent pancreatitis (ARP) is a common clinical condition that may be difficult to diagnose. Endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) is proposed to be a safe first line test of choice in the majority of patients. When interventions are needed to remove biliary stones, evaluate sphincter of Oddi or pancreas divisum, endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) is recommended. M a g n e t i c r e s o n a n c e c h o l a n g i o p a n c r e a t o g ra p hy (MRCP) can be a suitable alternative from a diagnostic standpoint although may not be widely available. Finally, genetic testing is increasingly used to detect c e r t a i n m u t a t i o n s t h a t a re a s s o c i a t e d w i t h t h i s diagnosis.
