If the patient is undergoing a pre-operative ERCP and endoscopic attempts with balloon or basket sweeping are unsuccessful, mechanical lithotripsy by way of capturing and fragmenting stones with a reinforced basket with a spiral sheath can be successful in over 80% of cases [28,29]. In balloon-assisted ERCP, the enteroscope has a working length of 200cm and the 12-mm diameter Overtube has a length of 140cm. The Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development and Evaluation (GRADE) framework was used to rigorously review and synthesize the contemporary literature regarding the following topics: EUS versus MRCP for diagnosis, the role of early ERCP in gallstone pancreatitis, endoscopic papillary dilation after sphincterotomy versus sphincterotomy alone for large bile duct stones, and impact of ERCP-guided intraductal therapy for large and difficult choledocholithiasis.

Choledocholithiasis is a common presentation of symptomatic cholelithiasis that can result in biliary obstruction, cholangitis, and pancreatitis. Chandran A, Rashtak S, Patil P, et al. Although up to a third of patients with common bile duct (CBD) stones will pass them spontaneously without intervention, the majority of patients will require endoscopic and/or surgical intervention [2]. Nevertheless, laparoscopic common bile duct exploration has not been adopted widely as it is technically challenging and strongly dependent on surgeon experience and equipment availability [19].

ASGE,, MeSH Patients with choledocholithiasis on abdominal US, with bilirubin levels >4 mg/dL (normal values <1.2 mg/dL), bilirubin levels 1.8 mg/dL plus a dilated CBD and/or clinical cholangitis were considered high risk per ASGE guidelines. As such, the EDGE procedure can be an alternative method of accessing the biliary tree in which an anastomosis is created typically with a lumen-apposing metal stent between the gastric pouch or jejunum to the excluded stomach under endoscopic ultrasound visualization which allows a duodenoscope to be passed to perform a conventional ERCP [35] (Fig. Gastrointest Endosc. The common bile duct can then be accessed with a small-bore catheter for saline flushes, which may be successful in dislodging stones into the duodenum.

The excluded stomach is located endosonographically from the gastric pouch or afferent limb and accessed to deploy a lumen-apposing metal stent into the excluded gastric remnant to allow antegrade passage of a duodenoscope through the fistula where conventional ERCP can be performed to access and cannulate the ampulla and biliary tree.

Choledocholithiasis (CDL) is a common clinical entity and can lead to serious complications, such as pancreatitis or ascending cholangitis. Choledocholithiasis is a common presentation of symptomatic cholelithiasis that can result in biliary obstruction, cholangitis, and pancreatitis. Systematic review and meta-analysis of the 2010 ASGE non-invasive predictors of choledocholithiasis and comparison to the 2019 ASGE predictors. Half the patients were at least 65 years old.

Although the interpretation of EUS and MRCP are both subject to bias, meta-analyses have found an observed superiority in the sensitivity of EUS as compared to MRCP due to better accuracy of EUS in detection of small stones and as such, EUS-directed ERCP has been advocated as a cost-effective method since both EUS and ERCP could be performed in the same session. 0000007406 00000 n

The guidelines by the American Society for Gastrointestinal Endoscopy (ASGE) suggest that in patients with gallbladder in situ, endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) should be performed in the presence of high-risk criteria for choledocholithiasis, after biochemical tests and abdominal ultrasound. Although studies show EDGE to be safe and effective, there are concerns regarding persistent gastrogastric fistula and weight gain following stent removal in which it is recommended that either an upper endoscopy or upper GI series be obtained in all patients post-stent removal to determine the presence of persistent fistula. Final decision on an intervention should always be based on local expertise and patient preferences. NIH state-of-the-science statement on endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) for diagnosis and therapy. Among more than 10,000 ERCPs performed in a 14-hospital system over 7 years, 744 cases were randomly selected from those performed for suspected choledocholithiasis, while excluding those with a prior cholecystectomy or sphincterotomy. . Relative contraindications to the transcystic approach include a small, friable cystic duct, multiple stones in the common bile duct, stones larger than 1cm or stones in the proximal duct [16,22]. 2020 ASGE.

Guidelines are not a substitute for physicians opinion on individual patients. Alternatively, a flexible guidewire can be placed intraoperatively through a cystic ductotomy into the biliary tree across the ampulla into the duodenum under fluoroscopy to allow for ERCP via a rendez-vous procedure, in which the duodenoscope can then be inserted per os to capture the guidewire. 0000007562 00000 n

ASGE | Updated Criteria for Prediction of Choledocholithiasis Add Maple JT, Ben-Menachem T, et al. The aim of clinical guidelines is to help physicians make important decisions by summating the best evidence in a readily accessible format.1 In 2019, the American Society for Gastrointestinal Endoscopy (ASGE) revised the guidelines for suspected choledocholithiasis based on studies evaluating the performance of the 2010 recommendations.2-8 The definition of parameters to predict high . In this retrospective study, the authors compared the performance of two such guidelines published by the American Society for Gastrointestinal Endoscopy (ASGE) in 2010 and 2019. Patients with choledocholithiasis that present challenges include those with recurrent CBD stones, large or impacted stones, altered gastric or duodenal anatomy such as Billroth II or Roux-en-Y gastric bypass and those presenting with sepsis secondary to acute cholangitis. Based on initial laboratory data and imaging findings, each patient was categorized as low/intermediate probability or high probability of choledocholithiasis as per both 2010 and 2019 ASGE guideline criteria ().The 2019 guidelines consider CBD stones on abdominal US or cross-sectional imaging or clinical ascending cholangitis or total bilirubin >4 mg/dL along with a dilated CBD as high . 115(4):616-624. Tintara S . The positive predictive value of the high-risk categorization increased with the revision, reflecting a potential decrease in diagnostic endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatograpies (ERCPs).
