Probe-based confocal laser endomicroscopy (pCLE) provides real-time histological assessment of bile duct tissues. Since no previous studies have evaluated the efficacy of pCLE under direct cholangioscopic visualization for biliary strictures that cannot be definitively diagnosed through endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography using fluoroscopy, we prospectively assessed the feasibility and safety of this procedure in three cases.
