Early Cholangioscopy for the Evaluation of Indeterminate Biliary Stricture
Autoren
A 45-year-old man with cystic fibrosis and lung transplantation, underwent cholecystectomy 4 months ago. He was now admitted with obstructive jaundice. MRCP and abdominal CT showed a stricture of the common bile duct with proximal ductal dilatation, no etiology could be ascertained. EUS-FNA from a hiliar lymph node and ERCP-cytology from the stricture were negative for malignancy. Peroral cholangioscopy revealed a diffuse smooth narrowing of the distal bile duct resulting in a focal stricture. Visual impression suggested ischemic injury and guided biopsy was consistent with the diagnosis.
Early implementation of cholangioscopy may reduce diagnostic delays of indeterminate biliary strictures.
