common hepatic and pancreatic duct using MRI (magnetic resonance imaging). It is done for the same purposes like ERCP (see above) and can provide results of the same accuracy (7). The downside of MRCP is that unlike in ERCP, no treatment can be performed during the procedure. ...
This combined procedure may resolve difficult to treat bile duct obstruction and/or infection. With a tailored approach, the interventionalists are able to drain externally or internally and may excellently treat infected bilioma with downstream bile duct obstruction. An experienced, dedicated team is...
Magnetic Resonance Cholangio-pancreatography (MRCP) has emerged as an accurate, noninvasive diagnostic modality for investigating the biliary ducts. ERCP used primarily in diagnosis & therapeutic modality. With sensitivity between 90% to 95% in detecting CBDS.We studied 40 patients with Common bile ...
ERCP procedure Patients were initially placed in supine (35.7%, 5/14), left lateral (28.6%, 4/14), prone (21.4%, 3/14) and right lateral (14.3%, 2/14) position, as listed in Table2. 10 endoscopists performed ERCP on the left side of the table while the left 2 on the right ...
excluded. ERCP and LC procedures were performed by the same endoscopic surgeon. The indication for ERCP was thoroughly evaluated for each patient in consultation with a radiologist prior to the procedure. Patients in the same session were intubated (group A) and ERCP was performed first in the ...
PURPOSE In patients with a history of acute recurrent pancreatitis, to evaluate the image quality of MRCP with and without secretin, and to compare its diagnostic efficacy with ERCP. METHOD AND MATERIALS During a 2-year period, all patients in our facility with a history of acute recurrent panc...
In recent years, MRCP and EUS have largely replaced diagnostic ERCP, which is now primarily a therapeutic procedure. Since the inception of ERCP, improveme... Shah RJSomogyi LPetersen BTTierney WMAdler DGChand BConway JDCroffie JMDisario JAMishkin DSWong-Kee-Song LM - 《Gastrointestinal Endosco...
Rapid and widespread diffusion of MRCP has occurred in the absence of cost-effectiveness data comparing it to the gold standard of ERCP. AIM: We performed a prospective randomized multicenter clinical trial to study the effectiveness (real-life setting) and costs of MRCP and ERCP in patients ...
