Experience With a Combined Percutaneous and Endoscopic Approach to Stent Insertion in Malignant Obstructive Jaundice

Usefulness of slimmer and open-cell-design stents for endoscopic bilateral stenting and endoscopic revision in patients with hilar cholangiocarcinoma (with video)

“…However, the clinical application is limited mainly by technical difficulties and complications associated with bilateral stenting. 1, [16][17][18][19][20][21][22] As a result of recent advancements in devices for the endoscopic biliary intervention, complex multiple stenting for advanced hilar cancer has become amenable to endoscopic management. 2,3,12,23 We suggested that use of a Y stent for bilateral stenting could be a useful method, compared with other methods such as previous stent-in-stent or parallel arrangement methods.…”

Modified Rendezvous Technique in Management of Biliary Leak in Right Lobe Live Donor Liver Transplant Recipients

“…3 The guidewire was then grasped by a snare from a duodenoscope at a separate setting. Aytekin et al 4 reported a modified rendezvous technique in an LDLT recipient with bile leak, where PTC .…”

Detection of Gallstones in Acute Pancreatitis: When and How?

“…If the postoperative endoscopic approach is chosen, placement of a transcystic catheter at cholecystectomy facilitates subsequent management. If there is doubt about the presence of a stone in the duct, a further confirmatory cholangiogram may be obtained before proceeding to sphincterotomy, and if there is difficulty cannulating the papilla, a guidewire may be passed through the catheter to ensure cannulation by the rendezvous technique and allow safe sphincterotomy [28,29]. …”
