Brief summary

To document the clinical utility of percutaneous cholangiopancreatoscopy using a thin, disposable, flexible endoscope for evaluation and treatment of complex pancreaticobiliary disease in a prospective, multi-center case series

Detailed description

This case series aims to illustrate the clinical utility of percutaneous transhepatic cholangiopancreatoscopy using a thin, disposable, flexible endoscope performed by gastroenterological endoscopists and/or interventional radiologists in procedures including but not limited to: * PTCS for tissue diagnosis in cases of surgically or pathologically-altered anatomy, * PTCS for stone removal after surgically or pathologically-altered anatomy, * Percutaneous rendezvous to aid ERCP after failed endoscopic cannulation, * Percutaneous delivery of palliative intraluminal brachytherapy, * Intra-procedural percutaneous salvage procedures when an initial route of access fails

Interventions

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Achieving clinical intent of procedure as indicated1 monthPhysicians will report achieving clinical success by recording the completed procedures compared to procedures planned by 30 days (+/- 3 days) after index PTCS.

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Technical successDuring index procedureRate at which SpyGlass™ Discover digital catheter can be advanced to the target lesion or stone(s) and visualize the target
Procedural TimeDuring index procedureTime elapsed between first insertion to last removal of the SpyGlass™ Discover digital catheter
Number of PTCS procedures1 monthNumber of PTCS procedures required to achieve clinical success until the end of follow-up
Endoscopist ratingDuring index procedureEndoscopist rating of the following attributes when using SpyGlass™ Discover Digital Catheter compared to marketed reusable scopes Ability to complete the procedure Ability to retroflex Ability to selectively advance into targeted ducts Ability to obtain targeted biopsies Ability to grasp stones Ability to guide lithotripsy Ability to suction Ability to irrigate Ability to advance accessories through scope channel Image quality
Number of Adverse Events1 monthSerious adverse events related to the study device, accessory devices used through the working channel of the SpyGlass™ Discover Digital Catheter or the cholangiopancreatoscopy portion of the PTCS procedure(s).
