Using Cholangioscopy to Diagnose an Inflammatory Stricture by Prof. Mutignani, Niguarda Hospital, Milan, Italy
A 65-year-old man was admitted to the emergency unit of the hospital for onset of jaundice and fever without abdominal pain. A CT scan of the abdomen showed a stenosis of the hepatic hilum mass-forming. Plastic stents were placed and a brushing was performed, but results were found to be inconclusive. An ERCP was performed using the SpyGlass™ DS System, and targeted biopsies were taken using SpyBite™ Biopsy Forceps.
