Background: Endoscopic ultrasound-guided gallbladder drainage (EUS-GBD) using a lumen-apposing metal stent (LAMS) has rendered endoscopic gallbladder assessment through a stent possible, but an appropriate endoscope is required. We assessed the feasibility of peroral cholecystoscopy (POCC) using a multibending ultraslim endoscope passed through a LAMS after EUS-GBD.
Methods: 14 patients with a LAMS for EUS-GBD who consecutively underwent POCC were included. POCC was performed using a multibending endoscope inserted through the LAMS. The primary outcome was the technical success rate, defined as complete endoscopic examination of the gallbladder from the orifice of the cystic duct to the fundus. The types of intervention and adverse events were recorded.
Results: 17 POCCs were performed in 14 patients. Of the 17 POCCs, 15 (88.2 %) were technically successful. Narrow-band imaging endoscopy was performed in 12 procedures (70.6 %), and cholecystoscopy-guided target biopsies were obtained in six. Gallstone extraction was performed in two patients. After POCC, all LAMSs remained stable and no adverse events were observed.
Conclusions: POCC using a multibending ultraslim endoscope can be effectively and safely performed through a LAMS after EUS-GBD.

Background/aims: : Peroral cholangioscopy (POC) has been used to assess intrahepatic duct (IHD) lesions but with a limited role. A new multibending (MB) ultraslim endoscope has been designed to improve POC performance. We evaluated the usefulness of POC using the MB ultraslim endoscope for the management of IHD lesions.

Background/purpose: Compared with currently available duodenoscopy-assisted systems, direct peroral cholangioscopy (DPOC) using an ultra-slim endoscope is limited by technical difficulties. The multibending (MB) ultra-slim endoscope was introduced as a dedicated cholangioscope for DPOC to challenge the technical problem. We retrospectively analyzed the clinical utility of DPOC using an MB endoscope with free-hand insertion into the bile duct in patients with biliary diseases.

Background And Aims: Endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) guided choledochoduodenostomy using a lumen-apposing metal stent (LAMS) allows access to the biliary system with a sufficiently large diameter stent. However, an appropriate endoscope for this purpose is required. We evaluated the feasibility of per-oral cholangioscopy (POC) using a multibending ultra-slim endoscope through a LAMS for EUS-guided choledochoduodenostomy.
