Diagnosing Distal Cholangiocarcinoma with Extension to Right Hepatic Duct using the SpyGlass™ DS System, Presented by Isaac Raijman, M.D.
Dr. Raijman performs cholangioscopy using the SpyGlass DS System to assess the local intraductal extent of a tumor in the distal CBD as well as a mild narrowing in the RHD. Targeted biopsies under direct visualization revealed adenocarcinoma in the RHD, the same as found distally. It was determined that this patient was not a candidate for surgery, saving unnecessary risk to the patient and cost to the hospital system.
