Eur J Med Res 2025; 30:135. [PMID: 40001247 PMCID: PMC11853183 DOI: 10.1186/s40001-025-02391-z] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/05/2024] [Accepted: 02/17/2025] [Indexed: 02/27/2025] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) has been widely used in the diagnosis and treatment of biliary and pancreatic diseases, and its success rate and therapeutic effect are considerable, and its use in patients with gastrointestinal tract reconstruction is also increasing. The anatomical structure of the digestive tract has been changed in these patients, which makes the use of endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography technically more challenging. The aim of this study was to investigate the efficacy of transendoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography in patients after gastrointestinal reconstruction and its risk factors for postoperative complications. METHODS A retrospective analysis was conducted on clinical data of 522 patients who underwent ERCP for diagnostic and therapeutic purposes after gastrointestinal reconstruction surgery at Zhongnan Hospital, Wuhan University, from January 2017 to December 2023. Univariate analysis, multicollinearity testing, and binary logistic regression were performed to explore the factors associated with ERCP efficacy and complications. RESULTS A total of 522 patients were included in the study. The success rate of intubation was 96.93% (506/522), the success rate of cannulation was 91.09% (466/506), and the therapeutic success rate was 95.28% (444/466). Multivariate logistic regression analysis of failed intubation showed that independent risk factors included total gastrectomy (P = 0.000, OR = 7.114, 95% CI 2.454-20.622), gastrojejunostomy (P = 0.000, OR = 46.881, 95% CI 10.250-214.423), and the use of a forward-viewing endoscope (P = 0.010, OR = 2.322, 95% CI 1.228-4.389). Post-ERCP complications included hyperamylasemia in 67 cases (12.84%), acute pancreatitis in 13 cases (2.49%), acute cholangitis in 3 cases (0.57%), bleeding in 3 cases (0.57%), and perforation in 2 cases (0.38%). Univariate analysis of the complications showed that a history of cholecystectomy (P = 0.042, OR = 1.800, 95% CI 1.015-3.193) was an independent risk factor for hyperamylasemia; difficult cannulation (P = 0.000, OR = 47.619, 95% CI 13.317-170.275) was an independent risk factor for acute pancreatitis; and a history of pancreatitis (P = 0.040, OR = 42.75, 95% CI 3.399-537.620) was an independent risk factor for bleeding. CONCLUSIONS ERCP performed in patients after gastrointestinal reconstruction at our hospital achieved a high success rate. Total gastrectomy, gastrojejunostomy, and the use of a forward-viewing endoscope were independent risk factors for failed intubation. A history of cholecystectomy, recurrent cannulation, and a history of pancreatitis were identified as independent risk factors for hyperamylasemia, acute pancreatitis, and bleeding, respectively.

Abstract
Conventional duodenoscopy is challenging to perform in patients with a surgically altered anatomy (SAA). Short single-balloon enteroscopy (SBE) is an innovative alternative. We investigated the performance of short SBE in patients with SAA and explored risk factors for unsuccessful intubation. Patients who underwent short SBE from October 2019 to October 2023 were retrospectively analyzed. Successful enteroscopic intubation was defined as the endoscope reaching the papilla of Vater, the pancreaticobiliary-enteric anastomosis, or the target site of the afferent limb. In total, 99 short SBE procedures were performed in 64 patients (40 men, 24 women) with a mean age of 61 years (range, 36-86 years). The patients had a history of choledochoduodenostomy (n = 1), Billroth II gastrojejunostomy (n = 11), pancreaticoduodenectomy (n = 17), Roux-en-Y reconstruction with hepaticojejunostomy (n = 31), and Roux-en-Y reconstruction with total gastrectomy (n = 4). Successful enteroscopic intubation occurred in 32 of 64 (50.0%) patients, and in 57 of 99 (57.6%) procedures. No perforation or severe pancreatitis occurred. Multivariable analysis showed that Roux-en-Y reconstruction was a risk factor for intubation failure (hazard ratio, 4.2; 95% confidence interval, 1.1-15.8; p = 0.033). Short SBE is efficacious and safe in patients with postsurgical anatomy. Roux-en-Y reconstruction adversely affects the success of short SBE intubation.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES This study assessed factors influencing the complete removal and recurrence of bile duct stones in patients with surgically altered anatomy (SAA) undergoing double-balloon endoscopy-assisted endoscopic retrograde cholangiography (DBERC). METHODS A retrospective analysis of 289 patients with SAA treated for biliary stones with DBERC at Jichi Medical University Hospital (January 2007 to December 2022) was conducted. Evaluation of factors impacting complete stone removal was performed in 257 patients with successful bile duct cannulation. Logistic and Cox proportional hazards regression models were used to compute the odds ratios (ORs) and hazard ratios (HRs) at 95% confidence intervals (CIs). RESULTS Of 257 patients, 139 (54.0%) and 209 (81.3%) achieved initial and complete removal, respectively. Recurrence occurred in 55 (21.4%) patients. Factors associated with initial complete stone removal included cholangitis (P < 0.01, OR 0.48, 95% CI 0.27-0.83), number of stones (P < 0.01, OR 0.31, 95% CI 0.18-0.54), and largest stone diameter (P < 0.01, OR 0.37, 95% CI 0.20-0.67). The size of the largest stone was associated with complete removal (P = 0.01, OR 0.24, 95% CI 0.13-0.76). Recurrence was associated with cholangitis (P = 0.046, HR 0.54, 95% CI 0.29-0.99), congenital biliary dilatation (P = 0.01, HR 2.65, 95% CI 1.21-5.80), and number of stones (P = 0.02, HR 1.96, 95% CI 1.12-3.41). CONCLUSIONS Successful complete bile stone removal in patients with SAA depends on the stone diameter and number. Stone recurrence is influenced by the number of stones and history of congenital biliary dilatation.

Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography using a pediatric colonoscope in patients with Roux‑en‑Y gastrectomy and an intact major duodenal papilla. Exp Ther Med 2024; 28:390. [PMID: 39161620 PMCID: PMC11332138 DOI: 10.3892/etm.2024.12679] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/12/2023] [Accepted: 07/03/2024] [Indexed: 08/21/2024] Open
Abstract
Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) in patients with Roux-en-Y gastrectomy and an intact major duodenal papilla is challenging and difficult, with unsatisfactory outcomes using various endoscopes. Limited data are available regarding the outcomes of ERCP using a pediatric colonoscope in such patients. To evaluate the efficacy of a pediatric colonoscope in patients with Roux-en-Y gastrectomy and an major duodenal intact papilla, 93 consecutive patients with Roux-en-Y gastrectomy and an intact major duodenal papilla who underwent ERCP using a pediatric colonoscope at the Medical Center for Digestive Diseases, The Second Affiliated Hospital of Nanjing Medical University, (Nanjing, China) between January 2018 and December 2022 were retrospectively reviewed. Following the failure of bile duct cannulation, a double-guidewire or precut technique was utilized for advanced cannulation. Interventions were performed using standard ERCP therapeutic accessories. The results indicated that distal gastrectomy with Roux-en-Y reconstruction was performed in 38 out of 93 patients, while 55 patients underwent total gastrectomy with Roux-en-Y reconstruction. The success rates associated with endoscope insertion, endoscopic cannulation and therapeutic ERCP were 88.17% (82/93), 85.37% (70/82) and 95.71% (67/70), respectively, while the clinical intervention success and complication rates were 72.04% (67/93) and 7.53% (7/93), respectively. The endoscope insertion time was 40.78±10.04 min, and the ERCP procedure time was 88.55±16.38 min. Student's t-test showed that the endoscope insertion time and the ERCP procedure time in patients undergoing distal gastrectomy were longer than those in patients undergoing total gastrectomy (P<0.05). Binary logistic regression analysis showed that age and number of previous abdominal surgeries were independent risk factors associated with endoscope insertion failure. In conclusion, the present study demonstrated that the use of a pediatric colonoscope is efficacious and safe for patients with Roux-en-Y gastrectomy and an intact major duodenal papilla undergoing ERCP.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Texture and color enhancement imaging (TXI) reportedly improves the identification of the papilla of Vater for selective biliary cannulation compared with white light imaging (WLI). This multicenter study evaluated the efficacy of short-type single-balloon enteroscopy (SBE)-assisted biliary cannulation using a new-generation image-enhanced endoscopy processing system equipped with TXI in patients who underwent Roux-en-Y gastrectomy. METHODS Patients with Roux-en-Y gastrectomy with a native papilla, and underwent short SBE-assisted biliary cannulation during endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography-related procedures between January 2019 and April 2023 were retrospectively reviewed. Outcomes of biliary cannulation using TXI and WLI were compared. The primary outcome was time to successful biliary cannulation. RESULTS Thirty-three patients underwent biliary cannulation with TXI and 98 underwent WLI. The biliary cannulation success rates and median time to successful biliary cannulation with TXI and WLI were 93.9% (95% confidence interval [CI] 79.8-99.3%) and 83.7% (95% CI 74.8-90.4%), respectively (P = 0.14), and 10 min (interquartile range [IQR] 2.5-23.5) and 18 min (IQR 9.75-24), respectively (P = 0.04). Biliary cannulation with TXI required a shorter cannulation time than that required with WLI. Adverse event rates with TXI and WLI did not differ significantly (P = 0.58). Multivariate linear regression analysis showed that the use of TXI and short length of oral protrusion were associated with a shorter successful biliary cannulation time. CONCLUSION Short SBE-assisted biliary cannulation was effective and safe on TXI in patients who underwent Roux-en-Y gastrectomy, and achieved shorter successful biliary cannulation time.

Surgical strategies for challenging common bile duct stones in the endoscopic era: A comprehensive review of current evidence. World J Gastrointest Endosc 2024; 16:305-317. [PMID: 38946858 PMCID: PMC11212516 DOI: 10.4253/wjge.v16.i6.305] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/05/2024] [Revised: 05/07/2024] [Accepted: 05/21/2024] [Indexed: 06/13/2024] Open
Abstract
While endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) remains the primary treatment modality for common bile duct stones (CBDS) or choledocholithiasis due to advancements in instruments, surgical intervention, known as common bile duct exploration (CBDE), is still necessary in cases of difficult CBDS, failed endoscopic treatment, or altered anatomy. Recent evidence also supports CBDE in patients requesting single-step cholecystectomy and bile duct stone removal with comparable outcomes. This review elucidates relevant clinical anatomy, selection indications, and outcomes to enhance surgical understanding. The selection between trans-cystic (TC) vs trans-choledochal (TD) approaches is described, along with stone removal techniques and ductal closure. Detailed surgical techniques and strategies for both the TC and TD approaches, including instrument selection, is also provided. Additionally, this review comprehensively addresses operation-specific complications such as bile leakage, stricture, and entrapment, and focuses on preventive measures and treatment strategies. This review aims to optimize the management of CBDS through laparoscopic CBDE, with the goal of improving patient outcomes and minimizing risks.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIM The utility of a passive bending colonoscope (PBCS) in ERCP for patients with surgically altered anatomy has not been established. This study compared the outcome of PBCS-ERCP and balloon-assisted enteroscope (BAE)-ERCP. METHODS This multicenter observational study included 343 patients with surgically altered anatomy who underwent ERCP. Among these, 110 underwent PBCS-ERCP and 233 underwent BAE-ERCP. Propensity score matching was applied, and a final cohort of 210 (105 in each group) with well-balanced backgrounds was analyzed. The primary outcome was the success rate of reaching anastomosis or ampulla of Vater. Secondary endpoints included the cannulation success rate, completion rate, procedure time (to reach, cannulate, complete), and adverse events. RESULTS The success rate for reaching the target was 91.4% (96/105) with PBCS and 90.5% (95/105) with BAE (odds ratio [95% CI] 1.12, [0.44-2.89], P = 0.809). The mean time required to reach the target was significantly shorter in PBCS: 10.04 min (SD, 9.62) with PBCS versus 18.77 min (SD, 13.21) with BAE (P < 0.001). There were no differences in the success of cannulation or procedure completion, although the required times for cannulation and procedure completion were significantly shorter in PBCS. The incidence of adverse events was significantly higher in BAE (19.0%) than in PBCS (4.8%; P < 0.001). CONCLUSIONS In patients with surgically altered anatomy, PBCS-ERCP showed promising results with shorter time to reach, cannulate, and a lower incidence of adverse events compared with BAE-ERCP. The success rate of reaching was favorable through PBCS compared with BAE. CLINICAL TRIAL REGISTRATION UMIN000045546.

Abstract
Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) in patients with surgically altered anatomy is technically challenging. For example, scope insertion, selective cannulation, and intended procedures, such as stone extraction or stent placement, can be difficult. Single-balloon enteroscopy (SBE)-assisted ERCP has been used to effectively and safely address these technical issues in clinical practice. However, the small working channel limits its therapeutic potential. To address this shortcoming, a short-type SBE (short SBE) with a working length of 152 cm and a channel of 3.2 mm diameter has recently been introduced. Short SBE facilitates the use of larger accessories to complete certain procedures, such as stone extraction or self-expandable metallic stent placement. Despite the development in the SBE endoscope, various steps have to be overcome to successfully perform such procedure. To improve success, the challenging factors of each procedure must be identified. At the same time, endoscopists need to be mindful of adverse events, such as perforation, which can arise due to adhesions specific to the surgically altered anatomy. This review discussed technical tips regarding SBE-assisted ERCP in patients with surgically altered anatomy to increase success and reduce the risk of adverse events associated with ERCP.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Balloon enteroscopy (BE)-assisted endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP)-related procedures to resolve acute cholangitis (AC) in patients with surgically altered anatomy (SAA) are limited. There is a lack of evidence on whether the timing of BE-assisted ERCP affects clinical outcomes in patients with AC. This study aimed to evaluate the clinical outcomes of short-type single-balloon enteroscopy (short SBE)-assisted ERCP in patients with SAA and AC. METHODS Patients with AC who underwent short SBE-assisted ERCP procedures between September 2011 and April 2022 were retrospectively reviewed. The outcomes of procedures undergone at ≤24 h and >24 h were compared. The primary outcome was the length of stay (LOS). RESULTS Overall, 56 patients underwent procedures at ≤24 h, and 58 patients at >24 h. The procedural success and adverse event rates of short SBE-assisted ERCP were 87.7% (95% confidence interval [CI] 80.3-93.1%) and 4.4% (95% CI 1.4-9.9%), respectively. Patients with severe (Grade III) AC and systemic inflammatory response syndrome were more in early (at ≤24 h) ERCP groups. LOS and median time from ERCP procedures to discharge were shorter in the early group. Procedural success and adverse event rates between both groups had no significant differences. Multivariable linear regression analysis showed that ERCP performed at ≤24 h was associated with shorter LOS, while severe cholangitis and malignant biliary obstruction were associated with longer LOS. CONCLUSIONS Short SBE-assisted ERCP is effective and safe in patients with SAA and AC. Early procedures seemed to attribute early improvement of general condition, thus shortening the LOS.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES This study aimed to evaluate the trainees' practice and learning curve in short-type single-balloon enteroscopy (short SBE)-assisted endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) for patients with surgically altered anatomy (SAA) and determine how to train these trainees. METHODS The data of short SBE-assisted ERCP procedures between September 2011 and June 2021 were analyzed. RESULTS Three trainees and 180 cases were included in the analysis. Each trainee performed 60 cases between April 2016 and June 2021. The trainees' completion rate was 73.9% (95% confidence interval [CI], 66.8-80.1%). Adverse events occurred in 5.0% of cases (95% CI, 2.3-9.3%). The trainee who experienced colonoscopy and ERCP the most achieved better outcomes of enteroscopy success (reaching the target site) and trainee's completion rates than those of the others (P = .03 and .02, respectively). The learning curve for trainee's completion showed a significant improvement after 60 cases (P = .001). Multiple logistic regression analysis indicated that Roux-en-Y reconstruction was the factor affecting trainees' completion failure. CONCLUSIONS Short SBE-assisted ERCP trainees has a substantial learning curve. If trainees do not have much experience with colonoscopy and ERCP procedures, it may be beneficial for them to start performing short SBE-assisted ERCP procedures on non-Roux-en-Y reconstruction cases.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of stone extraction in patients who underwent Roux-en-Y gastrectomy using short-type single-balloon enteroscopy (SBE) and to clarify the factors affecting complete stone extraction in the initial procedure. METHODS The data of patients with Roux-en-Y gastrectomy who underwent endoscopic stone extraction using short SBE between September 2011 and January 2022 was analyzed. RESULTS Overall, 85 patients were scheduled to undergo stone extraction. 77 patients were intended stone extraction after successful biliary cannulation. The complete stone extraction success in the initial procedure, overall complete stone extraction success including repeated procedures, and adverse event rates were 68.2% (95% confidence interval [CI], 57.2%-77.9%), 87.1% (95% CI, 78.0%-93.4%), and 8.2% (95% CI, 3.4%-16.2%), respectively. Multiple logistic regression analysis indicated that bile duct diameter affected the success of complete stone extraction after successful biliary cannulation in the initial procedure (odds ratio 0.53, 95% CI, 0.30-0.94, p = .03). CONCLUSIONS Stone extraction in patients with Roux-en-Y gastrectomy using short SBE was effective. Patients with a large diameter bile duct required several sessions for complete stone extraction, suggesting that more dedicated devices are warranted for patients with surgically altered anatomy.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Endoscopic access to the targeted site is a major challenge for the endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) in patients undergoing Roux-en-Y (R-Y) reconstruction after total or subtotal gastrectomy. We aimed to evaluate the feasibility, reproducibility, and safety of mechanistic loop resolution strategies using a short-type single-balloon enteroscopy (short SBE) system. METHODS Between February 2020 and March 2022, consecutive patients with a previous R-Y gastrectomy requiring ERCP were prospectively enrolled. Different mechanistic loop resolution strategies for two-dimensional loops, three-dimensionally rotated loops, and loops making a cane or S-shape were applied during the SBE approach. RESULTS Forty-three short SBE-ERCP procedures were performed on 37 patients, with an approach success rate of 100.0% (43/43). The mean time to reach the jejunojejunal anastomosis and target site were 8.0 (6.0-11.0) minutes and 26.0 (16.0-36.0) minutes, respectively. The major challenges for the approach were the cane or S-shaped loop in the jejunojejunal anastomosis or Treitz ligament. The retroflex positioning of a SBE in front of the papilla was achieved in 86.0% (37/43), and the cannulation success rate in patients with an intact papilla was 90.9% (30/33). The initial, overall therapeutic successes, median total procedure time, and adverse event rate were 87.8%, 92.7%, 77.0 (IQR 56-100.5) minutes, and 11.6%, respectively. CONCLUSIONS Short SBE-ERCP using standardized mechanistic loop resolution strategies is effective and reproducible in patients with R-Y reconstruction after gastrectomy.

Abstract
Objectives: Recently, a newly designed short-type single-balloon enteroscope (SBE), SIF-H290S, has been developed with a smaller outer diameter and a longer working length than conventional colonoscopes. It has passive bending and high-force transmission, making insertion easier. However, it is difficult to perform rescue colonoscopy with an SBE after incomplete colonoscopy in the same session. Therefore, this study evaluated the feasibility of consecutive rescue colonoscopy using SIF-H290S without overtube after incomplete colonoscopy. Methods: This was a single-center retrospective study. We included 19 rescue colonoscopies (19 patients) with SIF-H290S without overtube performed by 11 endoscopists in the SIF group and 38 rescue colonoscopies (38 patients) using a small-caliber colonoscope (PCF-PQ260L) were randomly selected for the control group from procedures performed by the same 11 endoscopists. We compared the cecal intubation rate and other outcomes, such as insertion time, between the two groups. Results: The median age of the patients was 72 and 69 years, with 8 and 26 males in the SIF and control groups, respectively. The median body mass index was 21.6 and 22.7 kg/m2 in the SIF and control groups, respectively. There were no significant differences in the patient backgrounds between the groups, except for the reason for incomplete colonoscopy (p = 0.048). The cecal intubation rate was 78.9% (15/19 procedures) and 92.1% (35/38 procedures) in the SIF and control groups, respectively. Conclusions: This study revealed the real-world experience and feasibility of rescue colonoscopy using SIF-H290S, which could be a potential rescue device option after incomplete colonoscopy.

Comparison between Enteroscopy-, Laparoscopy- and Endoscopic Ultrasound-Assisted Endoscopic Retrograde Cholangio-Pancreatography in Patients with Surgically Altered Anatomy: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis. Life (Basel) 2022; 12:1646. [PMID: 36295081 PMCID: PMC9605390 DOI: 10.3390/life12101646] [Citation(s) in RCA: 8] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/12/2022] [Revised: 10/10/2022] [Accepted: 10/17/2022] [Indexed: 11/16/2022] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIMS Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP), in surgically altered anatomy (SAA), can be challenging and the optimal technique selection remains debatable. Most common foregut interventions resulting to this burden consist of Billroth II gastrectomy, Whipple surgery and Roux-en-Y anastomoses, including gastric by-pass. This systematic review, with meta-analysis, aimed to compare the rates of successful enteroscope-assisted (EA)-, endosonography-directed transgastric- (EDGE), and laparoscopy-assisted (LA)-ERCP. METHODS A systematic research (Medline) was performed for relative studies, through January 2022. The primary outcome was technical success, defined as approaching the ampulla site. Secondary outcomes included the desired duct cannulation, successful therapeutic manipulations, and complication rates. We performed meta-analyses of pooled data, and subgroup analysis considering the EA-ERCP subtypes (spiral-, double and single balloon-enteroscope). Pooled rates are reported as percentages with 95% Confidence Intervals (95%CIs). RESULTS Seventy-six studies were included (3569 procedures). Regarding primary outcome, EA-ERCP was the least effective [87.3% (95%CI: 85.3-89.4); I2: 91.0%], whereas EDGE and LA-ERCP succeeded in 97.9% (95%CI: 96.4-99.4; I2: 0%) and 99.1% (95%CI: 98.6-99.7; I2: 0%), respectively. Similarly, duct cannulation and therapeutic success rates were 74.7% (95%CI: 71.3-78.0; I2: 86.9%) and 69.1% (95%CI: 65.3-72.9; I2: 91.8%) after EA-ERCP, 98% (95%CI: 96.5-99.6; I2: 0%) and 97.9% (95%CI: 96.3-99.4) after EDGE, and 98.6% (95%CI: 97.9-99.2; I2: 0%) and 98.5% (95%CI: 97.8-99.2; I2: 0%) after LA-ERCP, respectively. The noticed high heterogeneity in EA-ERCP results probably reflects the larger number of included studies, the different enteroscopy modalities and the variety of surgical interventions. Comparisons revealed the superiority of LA-ERCP and EDGE over EA-ERCP (p ≤ 0.001) for all success-related outcomes, though LA-ERCP and EDGE were comparable (p ≥ 0.43). ERCP with spiral-enteroscope was inferior to balloon-enteroscope, while the type of the balloon-enteroscope did not affect the results. Most adverse events were recorded after LA-ERCP [15.1% (95%CI: 9.40-20.8); I2: 87.1%], and EDGE [13.1% (95%CI: 7.50-18.8); I2: 48.2%], significantly differing from EA-ERCP [5.7% (95%CI: 4.50-6.80); p ≤ 0.04; I2: 64.2%]. CONCLUSIONS LA-ERCP and EDGE were associated with higher technical, cannulation, and therapeutic success compared to EA-ERCP, though accompanied with more adverse events.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIMS Although single-balloon enteroscopy (SBE)-assisted or short-type SBE (short SBE)-assisted ERCP has been reported as useful in patients with surgically altered anatomy, most studies had small sample sizes or single-center designs. This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy and factors affecting the procedure results of short SBE-assisted ERCP in patients with surgically altered anatomy. METHODS This multicenter, retrospective study was conducted at 8 tertiary referral care centers in Japan. The data of patients who underwent ERCP-related procedures using short SBE between September 2011 and August 2019 at each facility were analyzed. RESULTS Overall, 1318 patients were included in this analysis. The enteroscopy (reaching the target site), cannulation, and total procedural success rates were 87.9% (95% confidence interval [CI], 86.1%-89.6%), 87.0% (95% CI, 84.9%-88.8%), and 74.9% (95% CI, 72.5%-77.2%), respectively. Adverse events occurred in 7.7% of patients (95% CI, 6.4%-9.3%). Multiple logistic regression analysis indicated that age (≥75 years), Roux-en-Y reconstruction, pancreatic indication, and malignancy were factors affecting the total procedural failure. CONCLUSIONS This large-scale study proved that short SBE-assisted ERCP in patients with surgically altered anatomy was effective. Moreover, it clarified factors affecting procedure results. Proficiency with alternative treatment techniques is required in difficult cases. (Clinical trial registration number: UMIN00004045.).

Abstract
Introduction Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) is considered to be a challenge in patients with surgically altered anatomy. We aimed to identify the risk factors of ERCP-related adverse events in patients with surgically altered anatomy in our center. Methods We included patients with surgically altered anatomy who underwent ERCP between April 2017 and December 2020 at our center. Clinical characteristics and outcomes were analyzed in univariate and multivariate methods to identify the risk factors for adverse events. Results A total of 121 ERCP procedures were performed in 93 patients. The papilla or surgical anastomosis was successfully reached in 113 cases (93.4%). Diagnostic success was achieved in 106 cases (93.8%) and subsequent therapeutic success was achieved in 102 cases (96.2%). ERCP-related adverse events occurred in 31 cases (25.6%). In univariate analysis, not first time ERCP attempt, a CBD stone diameter ≥ 15 mm, multiple cannulation attempts, endoscopic papillary balloon dilation, endoscopic papillary large balloon dilation, endoscopic retrograde biliary drainage, biopsy in the bile duct or papilla, mechanical lithotripsy use, and stone retrieval basket were associated with ERCP-related adverse events. In multivariate analysis, multiple cannulation attempts (OR 5.283; 95% CI 1.088–25.659; p = 0.039), endoscopic papillary balloon dilation (OR 4.381; 95% CI 1.191–16.114; p = 0.026), and biopsy in the bile duct or papilla (OR 35.432; 95% CI 2.693–466.104; p = 0.007) were independently associated with ERCP-related adverse events. Conclusions ERCP in patients with surgically altered anatomy was feasible and safe. Interventions including multiple cannulation attempts, endoscopic papillary balloon dilation, and biopsy in the bile duct or papilla were independent risk factors for ERCP-related adverse events.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIMS Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) in patients with surgically altered anatomy is still challenging. Usefulness of single-balloon enteroscopy (SBE)-assisted ERCP has been increasingly reported. Short SBE is considered beneficial with a 152-cm working length and a 3.2-mm working channel. This has increased the variety of devices that can be used during ERCP procedures. The aim of this pooled analysis was to evaluate the efficacy of SBE-assisted ERCP in patients with surgically altered anatomy and elucidate the current status. METHODS This systematic review only involved biliary interventions which excluded pancreatic cases. Studies involving SBE-assisted ERCP in patients with Roux-en-Y gastrectomy, hepaticojejunostomy with Roux-en-Y, pancreaticoduodenectomy (Whipple or Child procedure), or Billroth II gastrectomy were analyzed. Enteroscopy, biliary cannulation, and procedural success were assessed by pooling data in a random-effect model, according to the degree of heterogeneity, to obtain a proportion with 95% confidence interval (CI). The outcomes observed for conventional and short SBE cases were also reported. RESULTS Overall, 1227 SBE-assisted ERCP procedures from 21 studies were included. The pooled enteroscopy, biliary cannulation, and procedural success rates were 86.6% (95% CI, 82.4-90.3%), 90% (95% CI, 87.1-92.5%), and 75.8% (95% CI, 71.0-80.3%), respectively. Adverse events occurred in 6.6% (95% CI, 5.3-8.2%) of the procedures. Although good outcomes were reported for short SBE-assisted ERCP, these should not be directly compared to the outcomes observed for conventional SBE, as they assume different backgrounds and include confounding variables. CONCLUSIONS Single-balloon enteroscopy-assisted ERCP in patients with surgically altered anatomy on biliary interventions is effective.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND STUDY AIM Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) is the gold standard for the treatment of biliary obstruction of any etiology. However, cannulation failure of the common bile duct (CBD) by ERCP occurs in 5-10%. Alternatives after a failed ERCP are re-ERCP by an expert endoscopist, percutaneous transhepatic cholangio drainage (PTCD), (balloon) enteroscopy-assisted ERCP, or surgery. Endoscopic ultrasonography-guided drainage of the bile ducts (EUS-BD) is becoming the standard of care in tertiary referral centers for cases of failed ERCP in patients with malignant obstruction of the CBD. In expert hands, EUS-guided biliary drainage has excellent technical/clinical success rates and lower complication rates compared to PTCD. Despite the successful performance of EUS-BD in malignant cases, its use in benign cases is limited. The aim of this study (design, systematic prospective clinical observational study on quality assurance in daily clinical practice) was to evaluate the efficacy and safety of EUS-BD in benign indications. PATIENTS AND METHODS Patients with cholestasis and failed ERCP were recruited from a prospective EUS-BD registry (2004-2020). One hundred and three patients with EUS-BD and benign cholestasis were extracted from the registry (nTotal = 474). Indications of EUS-BDs included surgically altered anatomy (n = 65), atypical bile duct percutaneous transhepatic cholangio orifice at the duodenal junction from the longitudinal to the horizontal segment (n = 1), papilla of Vater not reached due to the gastric outlet/duodenal stenoses (n = 6), papilla that cannot be catheterized (n = 24), and proximal bile duct stenosis (n = 7). The primary endpoint was technical and clinical success. Secondary endpoints were procedure-related complications during the hospital stay. RESULTS 103 patients with EUS-BD and benign cholestasis were extracted from the registry (nTotal=474). Different transluminal access routes were used to reach the bile ducts: transgastric (n = 72/103); -duodenal (n = 16/103); -jejunal (n = 14/103); combined -duodenal and -gastric (n = 1/103). The technical success rate was 96 % (n = 99) for cholangiography. Drainage was not required in 2 patients; balloon dilatation including stone extraction was sufficient in 17 cases (16.5 %; no additional or prophylactic insertion of a drain). Transluminal drainage was achieved in n = 68/103 (66 %; even higher in patients with drain indication only) by placement of a plastic stent (n = 29), conventional biliary metal stents (n = 24), HotAXIOS stents (n = 5; Boston Scientific, Ratingen, Germany), Hanaro stents (n = 6; Olympus, Hamburg, Germany), HotAXIOS stents and plastic stents (n = 1), HotAXIOS stents and metal stents (n = 1) and metal stents and plastic stents (n = 2). Techniques for stone extraction alone (nSuccessful=17) or stent insertion (nTotal = 85; nSuccessful=85 - rate, 100 %) and final EUS-BD access pathway included: Rendezvous technique (n = 14/85; 16.5 %), antegrade internal drainage (n = 20/85; 23.5 %), choledochointestinostomy (n = 7/85; 8.2 %), antegrade internal and hepaticointestinostomy (n = 22/85; 25.9 %), hepaticointestinostomy (n = 21/85; 24.7 %), choledochointestinostomy and hepaticointestinostomy (n = 1/85; 1.2 %).The complication rate was 25 % (n = 26) - the spectrum comprised stent dislocation (n = 11), perforation (n = 1), pain (n = 2), hemorrhage (n = 6), biliary ascites/leakage (n = 3) and bilioma/liver abscess (n = 3; major complication rate, n = 12/68 - 17.6 %). Re-interventions were required in 19 patients (24 interventions in total). DISCUSSION EUS-BD can be considered an elegant and safe alternative to PTCD or reoperation for failed ERCP to achieve the necessary drainage of the biliary system even in underlying benign diseases. An interventional EUS-based internal procedure can resolve cholestasis, avoid PTCD or reoperation, and thus improve quality of life. Due to the often complex (pathological and/or postoperative) anatomy, EUS-BD should only be performed in centers with interventional endoscopy/EUS experience including adequate abdominal surgery and interventional radiology expertise in the background. This enables adequately adapted therapeutic management in the event of challenging complications. It seems appropriate to conduct further studies with larger numbers of cases to systematize the approach and peri-interventional management and to successively develop specific equipment.

Abstract
Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) is an endoscopic modality established for diagnosis and treatment of pancreaticobiliary diseases. However ERCP in patients with surgically altered anatomy (SAA) has been difficult, and more invasive therapies have been primarily selected. The development of balloon assisted endoscopes (BAEs) innovatively facilitated ERCP in such patients. Recent advances of BAEs and other devices greatly contributed to increasing success of ERCP using BAEs (BAE-ERCP). Furthermore, interventions using Endoscopic Ultrasound (EUS-intervention) have been reported to be useful for pancreaticobiliary diseases in patients with SAA, which provide more options for endoscopic therapies and are also expected as a rescue therapy for difficult cases of BAE-ERCP. In order to thoroughly complete endoscopic treatment for pancreaticobiliary diseases with SAA, it is important to standardize the BAE-ERCP procedures based on the features of respective endoscopes and to establish a strategy for endoscopic treatment which includes analysis of BAE-ERCP difficult cases and selection of cases for rescue therapy. In addition, it is essential to be acquainted with the characteristics of possible adverse events of the procedure and to be able to deal with them for safe accomplishment of endoscopic treatment.

Management of Difficult Bile Duct Stones by Large Balloon, Cholangioscopy, Enteroscopy and Endosonography. Gut Liver 2021; 14:297-305. [PMID: 31581389 PMCID: PMC7234877 DOI: 10.5009/gnl19157] [Citation(s) in RCA: 10] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/08/2019] [Revised: 07/19/2019] [Accepted: 07/28/2019] [Indexed: 12/11/2022] Open
Abstract
Endoscopic management of bile duct stones is now the standard of care, but challenges remain with difficult bile duct stones. There are some known factors associated with technically difficult bile duct stones, such as large size and surgically altered anatomy. Endoscopic mechanical lithotripsy is now the standard technique used to remove large bile duct stones, but the efficacy of endoscopic papillary large balloon dilatation (EPLBD) and cholangioscopy with intraductal lithotripsy has been increasingly reported. In patients with surgically altered anatomy, biliary access before stone removal can be technically difficult. Endotherapy using two new endoscopes is now utilized in clinical practice: enteroscopy-assisted endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography and endoscopic ultrasound-guided antegrade treatment. These new approaches can be combined with EPLBD and/or cholangioscopy to remove large bile duct stones from patients with surgically altered anatomy. Since various endoscopic procedures are now available, endoscopists should learn the indications, advantages and disadvantages of each technique for better management of bile duct stones.

Recent Advances of Interventional Endoscopic Retrograde Cholangiopancreatography and Endoscopic Ultrasound for Patients with Surgically Altered Anatomy. J Clin Med 2021; 10:jcm10081624. [PMID: 33921247 PMCID: PMC8070513 DOI: 10.3390/jcm10081624] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/23/2021] [Revised: 04/08/2021] [Accepted: 04/09/2021] [Indexed: 02/06/2023] Open
Abstract
Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) is considered to be the gold standard for diagnosis and interventions in biliopancreatic diseases. However, ERCP in patients with surgically altered anatomy (SAA) appears to be more difficult compared to cases with normal anatomy. Since the production of a balloon enteroscope (BE) for small intestine disorders, BE had also been used for biliopancreatic diseases in patients with SAA. Since the development of BE-assisted ERCP, the outcomes of procedures, such as stone extraction or drainage, have been reported as favorable. Recently, an interventional endoscopic ultrasound (EUS), such as EUS-guided biliary drainage (EUS-BD), has been developed and is available mainly for patients with difficult cases of ERCP. It is a good option for patients with SAA. The effectiveness of interventional EUS for patients with SAA has been reported. Both BE-assisted ERCP and interventional EUS have advantages and disadvantages. The choice of procedure should be individualized to the patient’s condition or the expertise of the endoscopists. The aim of this review article is to discuss recent advances in interventional ERCP and EUS for patients with SAA.

Factors Affecting Technical Difficulty in Balloon Enteroscopy-Assisted Endoscopic Retrograde Cholangiopancreatography in Patients with Surgically Altered Anatomy. J Clin Med 2021; 10:jcm10051100. [PMID: 33800779 PMCID: PMC7961549 DOI: 10.3390/jcm10051100] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/10/2021] [Revised: 02/08/2021] [Accepted: 03/02/2021] [Indexed: 12/11/2022] Open
Abstract
Success rates of balloon enteroscopy-assisted endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (BE-ERCP) for patients with a reconstructed intestinal tract after surgical procedures are unsatisfactory. We retrospectively investigated the factors associated with unsuccessful BE-ERCP. Ninety-one patients who had a reconstructed intestinal tract after gastrectomy or choledochojejunostomy were enrolled. Age, sex, operative method, malignancy, endoscope type, endoscopist’s skill, emergency procedure, and time required to reach the papilla/anastomosis were examined. The primary endpoints were the factors associated with unsuccessful BE-ERCP selective cannulation, while the secondary endpoints were the rate of reaching the papilla/anastomosis, causes of failure to reach the papilla/anastomosis, cannulation success rate, procedure success rate, and rate of adverse events. Younger age (odds ratio, 0.832; 95% CI, 0.706–0.982; p = 0.001) and Roux-en-Y partial gastrectomy (odds ratio, 54.9; 95% CI, 1.09–2763; p = 0.045) were associated with unsuccessful BE- ERCP. The rate of reaching the papilla/anastomosis was 92.3%, the success rate of biliary duct cannulation was 90.5%, procedure success rate was 78.0%, and the rate of adverse events was 5.6%. In conclusion, Roux-en-Y partial gastrectomy and younger age were associated with unsuccessful BE-ERCP. If BE-ERCP is extremely difficult to perform in such patients after Roux-en-Y partial gastrectomy, alternative procedures should be considered early.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To evaluate the efficacy and safety of self-expandable metal stent (SEMS) placement for unresectable malignant biliary obstruction (MBO) using a short-type single-balloon enteroscopy (short SBE) in patients with surgically altered anatomy (SAA). METHODS The technical success rate, clinical success rate, recurrent biliary obstruction (RBO), time to RBO (TRBO), procedure related adverse events, and reintervention after RBO were evaluated from September 2011 to June 2020. RESULTS Thirty-seven patients (11 patients with distal MBO and 26 with hilar MBO) who underwent SEMS placement were included in the analysis. The technical and clinical success rates were 100% and 94.6%. Seven patients underwent bilateral stenting (partial stent-in-stent placement) for hilar MBO. The RBO rate was 13.5% (5/37) and the median TRBO was 212 (interquartile range [IQR], 154-296) days. No food impaction occurred in this study. Procedure related adverse events occurred in 5.4% (2/37) of cases. Reintervention was attempted in five patients and all succeeded (four patients underwent SEMS replacement, and one underwent plastic stent placement). CONCLUSIONS SEMS placement for unresectable MBO using a short SBE in patients with SAA is effective and safe in similar ways to that in patients with normal anatomy in terms of bilateral stenting, stent patency, and reintervention.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Single-balloon enteroscopy-assisted endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (SBE-ERCP) has been increasingly performed for the treatment of malignant biliary obstruction (MBO) in patients with surgically altered anatomy (SAA), however evidence is scarce. Therefore, we conducted this study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of self-expandable metallic stent (SEMS) placement using a short type SBE. METHODS We retrospectively examined consecutive patients with SAA who received initial SEMS for MBO at our institution between February 2016 and February 2019. We evaluated patient characteristics, technical and functional success rates, time to recurrent biliary obstruction (TRBO) and complications according to the location of the biliary stricture. RESULTS A total of 26 patients were included in this study. The primary tumor was gastric cancer in 12, pancreatic cancer in 6, cholangiocarcinoma in 6 and gallbladder cancer in 2. The biliary stricture site was distal bile duct in 14, hilar bile duct in 3 and hepaticojejunostomy (HJ) anastomosis in 9. Technical and functional success rates were 92 and 88%, respectively. TRBO, median survival time, overall rate of RBO and early complications were not different according to the stricture site (p=.36, .67, .67 and .12, respectively), whereas late complications were significantly different among the three groups (Distal vs. Hilar vs. HJ anastomosis; 0 vs. 67 vs. 22%, p<.05). Furthermore, stent patency was not different between fully covered and uncovered SEMS in distal MBO. CONCLUSIONS SEMS placement via SBE-ERCP was safe and effective for the management of MBO in patients with SAA, especially in distal MBO.

Clin J Gastroenterol 2020; 13:985-1009. [PMID: 32809134 DOI: 10.1007/s12328-020-01201-9] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.4] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/02/2020] [Accepted: 07/30/2020] [Indexed: 02/07/2023]
Abstract
Access to the Common Bile Duct in patients with surgically altered UGI anatomy such as RYGB is exceptionally challenging. Previously, these patients could only be treated by open surgery; however, multiple new advanced assisted ERCP techniques such as EDGE, LA-ERCP, and DEA-ERCP have now been developed and indeed successfully used to treat these patients. Despite growing experience, these techniques have yet to become part of our mainstream practice and many clinicians remain unfamiliar or even unaware of them; as a result, they are unfortunately often overlooked. We conducted this systematic review to try and shed more light on them and understand which of these techniques resulted in the best patient outcomes. We conducted a systematic review of PubMed database publications between December 2008 and December 2018. Keyword variants of "EDGE, Enteroscopy-assisted & laparoscopy-assisted ERCP" and "altered surgical anatomy" were combined to identify relevant papers for inclusion. We identified 34 studies, comprising a total of 1848 advanced assisted ERCPs in patients with altered UGI anatomy from 12 different countries. These papers were critically appraised, summarised, and presented in table format. EDGE and LA-ERCP were associated with both the highest overall combined CBD cannulation rates (99.3% for both vs 74.6% for DEA-ERCP) and ERCP interventional success (98.3% for EDGE vs 97.4% for LA-ERCP and 67.6% for DEA-ERCP). Advanced ERCP is associated with excellent success rates and a higher safety profile than surgery; however, patient selection and identification of the exact surgical anatomy are key.

Abstract
AIM To investigate feasibility and outcome the novel and favorable option of an endoscopic ultrasonography(EUS)-guided antegrade or even retrograde gall stone extraction via a transhepatic route in patients (pats.) with no option for the usual gold standard, ERCP. MATERIAL/METHODS All consecutive pats. with cholangiolithiasis and surgically altered anatomy of the upper GI tract with and without previous attempts of an ERCP were enrolled in this unicenter case study and were characterized with regard to the technical and clinical success of this approach. RESULTS From 2004 to 03/2020, overall 449 pats. underwent EUS-guided cholangiodrainage (n = 37 pats. with cholangiolithiasis). In 8 of these 37 pats., gall stone extraction was achieved using EUS-ERCP rendezvous technique (not included in the study since there was no surgically altered anatomy of the upper GI tract). In 13 of the remaining 29 subjects (45 %), there was a failure of previous attempts to reach the papilla of Vater or biliodigestive anastomosis using balloon-enteroscopy-guided ERCP. EUS-guided access to the biliary system was achieved in all 29 pats. Stone extraction was performed in 26 individuals (90 %) by means of antegrade push-technique after balloon dilatation of the papilla of Vater and biliodigestive anastomosis, respectively, before. In 11/29 cases (42 %), double pigtail prostheses were subsequently placed to track papilla of Vater/biliodigestive anastomosis ("ring drainage"), which were removed with gastroscopy three months later after previous ultrasound- and lab parameter-based follow-up control. In two pats. (7 %), gall stones were extracted via a retrograde route using a transhepatic access site; in one patient (3 %), stones were removed by means of a combined ante-/retrograde technique. In two subjects (7 %), cholangioscopy with electrohydraulic lithotripsy was used.Technical as well as clinical success rate was 100 % (29 of 29 pats.). Re-interventions became necessary in 6/29 cases (21 %), complications occurred in 6 individuals (21 %). CONCLUSION EUS-guided stone extraction in antegrade or retrograde technique for pats. with surgically altered anatomy of the upper GI tract can be considered a favorable and safe but challenging approach of interventional endoscopy/EUS. It can provide high technical and clinical success and low complication rates; it has the potential to substitute the time-consuming balloon-enteroscopy-guided ERCP as well as, in particular, PTCD and, thus, secundary and tertiary therapeutic alternatives.

Abstract
Objective We investigated the results of biliary cannulation using a short-type single-balloon enteroscope in patients with a native papilla who had previously undergone Roux-en-Y gastrectomy and analyzed the factors associated with successful cannulation. Methods The study subjects consisted of patients with a native papilla who had previously undergone Roux-en-Y gastrectomy and endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography using a short-type single-balloon enteroscope at our institution between September 2011 and July 2019. We carried out a retrospective investigation of the outcomes, including assessing the success rate of biliary cannulation, and analyzed the factors associated with successful cannulation. Results In total, 78 patients underwent biliary cannulation of a native papilla. The success rate of biliary cannulation was 80.8% (88.5% when including success on repeated attempts). The success rate of the standard cannulation technique was 60.3%, with the use of advanced cannulation techniques to secure the pancreatic duct providing the same additional effect as a normal anatomy. Adverse events occurred in 9.0% of cases. A multivariate analysis of the Roux-en-Y gastrectomy patients found that cannulation was more likely to be successful in patients in whom the scope could be placed in the retroflex position (odds ratio: 7.88, 95% confidence interval: 2.19-37.77, p<0.001). Conclusion Selective biliary cannulation using a short-type single-balloon enteroscope in patients with a native papilla who had undergone Roux-en-Y gastrectomy was effective and safe. The retroflex position provided a good papilla field of view and improved the success rate of biliary cannulation.

Abstract
AIM To analyze factors involved in procedural failure and to discuss responses to procedural failure by using the outcomes of endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) carried out using a short-type single-balloon enteroscope (short SBE) in patients with surgically altered gastrointestinal anatomy. METHODS The study sample included patients who underwent ERCP-related procedures using a short SBE between September 2011 and September 2018 at our hospital. Outcomes, including procedural success rate, were studied retrospectively to analyze the factors involved in procedural failure. RESULTS Analysis included 191 procedures carried out in 121 patients. Procedural success rate was 85.9% with an adverse event rate of 8.4%. Causes of procedural failure included malignant biliary obstruction (odds ratio [OR] 2.89, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.19-7.25, P = 0.02), first ERCP attempt (OR: 5.32, 95% CI: 1.30-36.30, P = 0.02), and Roux-en-Y reconstruction (OR: 0.08, 95% CI: 0.004-0.39, P < 0.001). With regard to the response to failure, in cases of malignant biliary obstruction, reattempted short SBE-assisted ERCP was difficult because of invasion of the small intestine or papilla. A large number of these cases required alternative treatment (10 of 15 cases, 66.7%) using percutaneous transhepatic biliary drainage (PTBD) or endoscopic ultrasound-guided biliary drainage (EUS-BD). CONCLUSION Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography using a short SBE is safe and effective, with malignant biliary obstruction being a specific cause of failure. Technical proficiency with different modalities, such as PTBD and EUS-BD, is necessary to respond to failure in these cases.

Abstract
Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) in patients with surgically altered gastrointestinal anatomy has been reported to be useful. However, selective biliary cannulation through the papilla is difficult in cases with surgically altered gastrointestinal anatomy. Herein, we report a successful biliary cannulation using a pancreatic duct (PD) stent in patients with Roux-en-Y anatomy. A 70-year-old man who underwent total gastrectomy with Roux-en-Y anatomy was admitted to our hospital with jaundice due to recurrence of gastric cancer. ERCP was performed for biliary drainage. We approached the papilla using a short-type single-balloon enteroscope (SIF-H290; Olympus Medical Systems). Because the papilla was positioned tangentially, it was difficult to adjust the catheter in the direction of the bile duct. As only a PD could be cannulated, we placed a guidewire in the PD. Although we attempted the double-guidewire technique using a guidewire placed in PD, selective biliary cannulation was difficult. Therefore, we placed a PD stent 5Fr-5cm (Geenen, Pancreatic Stent Sets, Cook Medical, Bloomington, IN, USA) to assist biliary cannulation. We inserted a catheter crossing the PD stent. With this, selective biliary cannulation was successful. We successfully performed selective biliary cannulation using the PD stent as we were able to fix the papilla, straighten the common channel and the axis of the bile duct, and not restrict scope movement by not using the PD guidewire placement method. This novel technique using a PD stent appears to be useful in patients with surgically altered gastrointestinal anatomy.
