Abstract
Objective This study aimed to assess the efficacy of Endoscopic Retrograde Cholangiopancreatography (ERCP), common bile duct exploration, and percutaneous transhepatic cholangiography combined with common bile duct exploration for treating choledocholithiasis with acute cholangitis, to guide management strategies. Methods A retrospective evaluation was conducted on a cohort of 283 inpatients diagnosed with choledocholithiasis and acute cholangitis at the affiliated hospital. Patients were categorized into three groups: Group A (ERCP group), Group B(common bile duct exploration group), and Group C(PTCD combine common bile duct exploration group.) Parameters such as hepatic function recovery, inflammation level control, blood loss, postoperative hospital duration, and postoperative complications were compared. Results All groups exhibited notable reductions in postoperative biochemical parameters including alanine aminotransferase (ALT), aspartate aminotransferase (AST), gamma-glutamyl transferase (GGT), total bilirubin (TBIL), and WBC (P < 0.05). Group A had the least blood loss(P < 0.05), and shortest hospital stay(P < 0.05), but a higher incidence of pancreatitis(P < 0.05), with a total of 8 cases occurred(7.3%). Group C had a shorter hospital stay compared to Group B(P < 0.05). Conclusion For patients with fewer and smaller common bile duct stones and milder symptoms, it is recommended to primarily choose endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP), endoscopic sphincterotomy (EST), and endoscopic nasobiliary drainage (ENBD), it procedures offer quicker recovery and cause minimal trauma. For patients with numerous, larger common bile duct stones but stable conditions, bile duct exploration is recommended. For those with severe conditions and significant inflammation, PTCD and common bile duct exploration are advised.

Eur Radiol 2023; 33:6872-6882. [PMID: 37081299 DOI: 10.1007/s00330-023-09631-y] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/28/2022] [Revised: 02/02/2023] [Accepted: 02/22/2023] [Indexed: 04/22/2023]
Abstract
OBJECTIVES The common practice is to remove symptomatic common bile duct (CBD) stones in patients. This study aimed to investigate the factors affecting the percutaneous transhepatic removal of CBD stones. METHODS We retrospectively analyzed the data of 100 patients (66 men and 34 women; age: 25-105 years, mean 79.1 years) with symptomatic CBD stones who underwent percutaneous transhepatic stone removal (PTSR) from January 2010 through October 2019. After balloon dilation of the ampulla of Vater or bilioenteric anastomosis, the stones were pushed out of the CBD into the small bowel with a balloon catheter. If failed, basket lithotripsy was performed. Technical success was defined as complete clearance of the bile ducts on a cholangiogram. RESULTS The technical success rate was 83%, and achieved 90.2% in patients with altered gastroduodenal/pancreatobiliary anatomy. Multivariable analysis revealed that CBD diameter (odds ratio [OR]: 506.460, p = 0.015), failed ERCP (OR: 16.509, p = 0.004), Tokyo guidelines TG18/TG13 severity (grade III; OR: 60.467, p = 0.006), and left-sided transhepatic approach (OR: 21.621, p = 0.012) were risk factors for technical failure. The appropriate cutoff CBD size was 15.5 mm (area under the curve: 0.91). CBD stone size, radiopacity of stones, and CBD angle between retroduodenal and pancreatic portion did not influence technical success. CONCLUSIONS PTSR is effective for CBD stone removal in older adults and individuals with altered gastrointestinal tract anatomy. The aforementioned risk factors for technical failure should be considered in preoperative evaluation before PTSR to improve the success rate. KEY POINTS • PTSR is effective in symptomatic CBD stone management among older adults and individuals with altered anatomy. Investigating clinical /anatomic factors can guide radiologists toward a more comprehensive preoperative evaluation to maximize the success rate. • Our data indicate that dilated CBD (diameter ≥ 15.5 mm) and left-sided PTBDs reduce the technical success rate by 506-fold and 22-fold, respectively. • Clinical factors such as previous failed ERCP for stone removal and higher severity of acute cholangitis lessen the technical success rate.

Abstract
Aims To explore the clinical characteristics of patients with symptomatic duodenal diverticula and to generalize how to make appropriate treatment choices for this group of patients. Materials and methods From January 2010 to September 2020, a total of 647 patients with duodenal diverticula (DD) were included in this study. 345 of them with relevant symptoms were divided into the symptomatic group and the other 302 patients were in the asymptomatic group. Results Among all patients, most DD were located in the periampullary area, <1 cm in size, and single in number. The distribution of DD localized in the 2nd portion/periampullary (P = 0.002/P < 0.001) and with a 1 cm size cut-off value (P = 0.003) was significantly different between the symptomatic and asymptomatic groups. Multivariate Logistics analysis further suggests that diverticular size (<1 cm, 1-3 cm) and combined biliary comorbidities (bile duct stones and gallstones, primary bile duct stones, cholangitis without bile duct stones) may be factors influencing the choice of treatment modality. Of all patients undergoing surgical treatment, a total of 7 cases developed various postoperative complications, and no one died. Conclusions Patients with DD ≥1 cm or located in the periampullary were more likely to be symptomatic. The specific size of the DD and the combination of specific biliary comorbidities may have an impact on the choice of treatment modality.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Periampullary diverticulum (PAD) may make the performance of endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) in patients with choledocholithiasis more difficult and may increase complication rates. The present study evaluated the effects of PAD on first-time ERCP in patients with choledocholithiasis. METHODS Outcomes were compared in patients with and without PAD and in those with four types of PAD: papilla located completely inside the diverticulum (type I), papilla located in the inner (type II a) and outer (type II b) margins of the diverticulum; and papilla located outside the diverticulum (type III). Parameters compared included cannulation time and rates of difficult cannulation, post-ERCP pancreatitis (PEP) and perforation. RESULTS The median cannulation times in patients with types I, II a, II b, III PAD and in those without PAD were 2.0 min, 5.0 min, 0.67 min, 3.5 min, and 3.5 min, respectively, with difficult cannulation rates in these groups of 7.4%, 31.4%, 8.3%, 18.9%, and 23.2%, respectively. The rates of PEP in patients with and without PAD were 5.3% and 5.1%, respectively. Four patients with and one without PAD experienced perforation. CONCLUSIONS The division of PAD into four types may be more appropriate than the traditional division into three types. Cannulation of type I and II b PAD was easier than cannulation of patients without PAD, whereas cannulation of type II a PAD was more challenging. PAD may not increase the rates of PEP.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Mirizzi syndrome is a gallstone disease characterized by compression of extrahepatic biliary duct with an impacted stone. Our aim is to identify and describe the incidence, clinical presentation, operative details and the association postoperative complication of Mirizzi syndrome in patients undergoing endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP). METHODS The ERCP procedures were held in Gastroenterology Endoscopy Unit and retrospectively evaluated. The patients were divided into two groups, the cholelithiasis + common bile duct (CBD) stone group and the Mirizzi syndrome group. These groups were compared with the demographic characteristics, ERCP procedures, types of Mirizzi syndrome and surgical technique. RESULTS A total of 1018 consecutive patients who underwent ERCP were scanned retrospectively. Of the 515 patients fulfilling the criteria for ERCP, 12 had Mirizzi syndrome and 503 had cholelithiasis and CBD stones. Half of the Mirizzi syndrome patients were diagnosed with pre-ERCP ultrasonography. The mean diameter of choledoc was found to be 10 mm in ERCP. ERCP-related complication rates (pancreatitis, bleeding and perforation) were the same in the two groups; 66.6% of the Mirizzi syndrome patients applied cholecystectomy and placement of T-tube surgical procedures, and there were no postoperative complications. CONCLUSION Surgery is the definitive treatment of Mirizzi syndrome. Thus patients should have a correct preoperative diagnosis for an appropriate and safe surgery. We think that ERCP could be the best guide for this. Also, we believe that intraoperative cholangiography with ERCP and hybrid procedures for guiding surgical treatment may become an advanced treatment option in the future.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) is an important therapeutic tool for many biliary diseases. Selective biliary cannulation is the first step of the treatment process. Needle knife fistulotomy (NKF) and conventional precut sphincterotomy (CPS) are widely used in difficult biliary cannulation. However, there are different results in their effectiveness and safety. This study aimed to compare both methods regarding cannulation success and adverse event profile. MATERIALS AND METHODS All eligible consecutive patients with naive papillae who underwent biliary ERCP by a single experienced endoscopist over a 3-year period were included retrospectively. The standard cannulation method with a guidewire-loaded sphincterotome was initially used for biliary cannulation in all patients. Cannulation was accepted as difficult in the case of failure of standard cannulation within 5 minutes or despite 5 attempts or insertion of the guidewire to the pancreatic duct 5 times. Three modalities in patients with difficult biliary cannulation were employed according to the structure and configuration of the papillae in addition to unintentional pancreatic cannulation: (1) NKF, (2) CPS, (3) Double guidewire technique or guidewire orientation/precut following pancreatic stenting. Latter was excluded to enable direct comparison between NKF and CPS groups. RESULTS A total of 644 patients were recruited. Analyses were performed with 541 patients after the exclusion of 103 patients. Mean (SD) age was 60.4 (18.2) years, and 257 (47.5%) patients were male. While standard cannulation was successful in 366 (67.6%), difficult biliary cannulation was observed in 175 (32.4%) patients. NKF was performed in 101 (57.7%) patients, and cannulation success was 100% in the first ERCP session. In contrast, CPS was performed in 74 (42.3%) patients with a lower cannulation success rate (79.7%) than NKF ( P <0.001). Post-ERCP pancreatitis rate was higher in CPS (9.5%) than NKF group (3.0%, P =0.063). Bleeding and cholangitis were similar in both groups. CONCLUSIONS In patients with difficult biliary cannulation with appropriate papillary structure and configuration, NKF should be used as the first choice in experienced hands because of high biliary cannulation success and low Post-ERCP pancreatitis risk.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Most of study regarding periampullary diverticulum (PAD) impact on endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) therapy for choledocholithiasis based on data from one endoscopy center and lacked to compare the clinical characteristic of choledocholithiasis with PAD from different geographical patients.
AIM To compare the choledocholithiasis clinical characteristics between two regional endoscopy centers and analyze impacts of clinical characteristics on ERCP methods for choledocholithiasis patients with PAD.
METHODS Patients seen in two endoscopy centers (The First Hospital of Lanzhou University, Lanzhou, Gansu Province, China, and Kyoto Second Red Cross Hospital, Kyoto, Japan) underwent ERCP treatment for the first time between January 2012 and December 2017. The characteristics of choledocholithiasis with PAD were compared between the two centers, and their ERCP procedures and therapeutic outcomes were analyzed.
RESULTS A total of 829 out of 3608 patients in the Lanzhou center and 241 out of 1198 in the Kyoto center had choledocholithiasis with PAD. Lots of clinical characteristics were significantly different between the two centers. The common bile duct (CBD) diameter was wider, choledocholithiasis size was lager and multiple CBD stones were more in the Lanzhou center patients than those in the Kyoto center patients (14.8 ± 5.2 mm vs 11.6 ± 4.2 mm, 12.2 ± 6.5 mm vs 8.2 ± 5.3 mm, 45.3% vs 20.3%, P < 0.001 for all). In addition, concomitant diseases, such as acute cholangitis, gallbladder stones, obstructive jaundice, cholecystectomy, and acute pancreatitis, were significantly different between the two centers (P = 0.03 to < 0.001). In the Lanzhou center, CBD diameter and choledocholithiasis size were lower, and multiple CBD stones and acute cholangitis were less in non-PAD patients than those in PAD patients (13.4 ± 5.1 mm vs 14.8 ± 5.2 mm, 10.3 ± 5.4 mm vs 12.2 ± 6.5, 39% vs 45.3%, 13.9% vs 18.5%, P = 0.002 to < 0.001). But all these characteristics were not significantly different in the Kyoto center. The proportions of endoscopic sphincterotomy (EST), endoscopic balloon dilatation (EPBD), and EST+EPBD were 50.5%, 1.7%, and 42.5% in the Lanzhou center and 90.0%, 0.0%, and 0.4% in the Kyoto center, respectively. However, the overall post-ERCP complication rate was not significantly different between the two centers (8.9% in the Lanzhou and 5.8% in the Kyoto. P = 0.12). In the Lanzhou center, the difficulty rate in removing CBD stones in PAD was higher than in non-PAD group (35.3% vs 26.0%, P < 0.001). But the rate was no significant difference between the two groups in Kyoto center. The residual rates of choledocholithiasis were not significantly different between the two groups in both centers. Post-ERCP complications occurred in 8.9% of the PAD patients and 8.1% of the non-PAD patients in the Lanzhou Center, and it occurred in 5.8% in PAD patients and 10.0% in non-PAD patients in the Kyoto center, all P > 0.05.
CONCLUSION Many clinical characteristics of choledocholithiasis patients with PAD were significantly different between the Lanzhou and Kyoto centers. The patients had larger and multiple stones, wider CBD diameter, and more possibility of acute cholangitis and obstructive jaundice in the Lanzhou center than those in the Kyoto center. The ERCP procedures to manage native duodenal papilla were different depending on the different clinical characteristics while the overall post-ERCP complications were not significantly different between the two centers. The stone residual rate and post-ERCP complications were not significantly different between choledocholithiasis patients with PAD and without PAD in each center.

Abstract
The objective of this work was to investigate the effect of magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography (MRCP) based on super-paramagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles (SPIONs) on the recurrence diagnosis of periampullary diverticulum (PAD) and bile duct stone (BDS), so as to provide a scientific research basis for the recidivation factors of bile duct stones in clinic. Patients with PAD diagnosed in hospital from July 2019 to March 2021 (who had undergone endoscopic gallstone surgery) were selected for study in this work. They were rolled into two groups, the parapapillary group (123 cases) and the cholangiopancreatic duct directly opening in the diverticulum group (97 cases), according to the clinical classification. Then, 100 patients without PAD who had undergone bile duct node therapy were selected as the control group. The recidivation of BDS, serological index, and biliary pressure index before and after treatment were compared. The relationship between PAD and recidivation of bile duct stones was analyzed. The results showed that the average particle size, hydration kinetic particle size, effective time, and duration of polyethylene glycol (PEG)/polyethyleneimine (PEI)/poly aspartic acid-super-paramagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles(PASP-SPIONs) were better than PEG/PEI-SPIONs and SPIONs. The recidivation rate of BDS in Groups R and X was remarkably higher than the rate in control group (P < 0.05). Before treatment, common bile duct pressure in the control group was lower obviously than that in Groups R and X (P < 0.05). After treatment, the indexes including total bilirubin, direct bilirubin, and alkaline phosphatase in control group were lower than those in Groups R and X (P < 0.05). The incidence of complications in Groups R and X was much higher than in contrast to the control group (P < 0.05). Therefore, PEG/PEI/PASP-SPIONs had good contrast effect and could be used as magnetic resonance imaging contrast agent. Complications such as common bile duct pressure and infection were increased by PAD, which may be the main factor for the recidivation of BDS.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The use of nonradiation endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (NR-ERCP) for choledocholithiasis is still limited. Hereby, we introduced our experience of digital cholangioscopy (DCS)-assisted NR-ERCP for retrieval of common bile duct stones. METHODS Altogether, data of 132 patients who underwent DCS-assisted NR-ERCP for choledocholithiasis were collected. Procedure details, complications, and short-term follow-up were reviewed and analyzed and were compared with those of conventional endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP). RESULTS Routine stone extraction and laser lithotripsy were planned in 116 and 16 patients, respectively. Biliary access was successfully achieved by standard biliary cannulation and by advanced techniques in 99 and 33 patients, respectively. Complete stone removal was achieved in a single session in all patients. Routine stone extraction was performed in 117 patients, and laser lithotripsy was applied in 15 patients, among whom 14 patients with planned lithotripsy and 1 unexpected impacted stone found during the procedure. Unexpected right localized intrahepatic stones and purulent cholecystitis were found in 1 and 3 patients, respectively. Three mild and 1 moderate pancreatitis, 5 cases of hyperamylasemia, and 2 cases of leukocytosis occurred as complications. Short-term follow-up revealed no stone residual. Procedure details, technical success, and complications were not statistically different than conventional ERCP. CONCLUSIONS DCS-assisted NR-ERCP is technically feasible, efficient, and safe for retrieval of common bile duct stones. This novel method is superior to conventional ERCP on detecting unexpected concomitant biliary diseases.

Radiation-free digital cholangioscopy-guided laser lithotripsy for large common bile duct stones: feasibility and technical notes. Surg Endosc 2021; 35:6390-6395. [PMID: 34387747 DOI: 10.1007/s00464-021-08688-4] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/02/2021] [Accepted: 08/07/2021] [Indexed: 12/24/2022]
Abstract
AIMS Although endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) for large common bile duct (CBD) stones is facilitated by digital cholangioscopy-guided lithotripsy, it is performed by fluoroscopy guidance. Here, we report our experience of non-radiation ERCP for large CBD stones using digital cholangioscopy-guided laser lithotripsy. METHODS Sixteen patients with large CBD stones underwent non-radiation digital cholangioscopy-guided laser lithotripsy and lithotomy. Data relevant to procedure details, adverse events, and short-term follow-up were analyzed. RESULTS Biliary access was achieved in all patients using standard guidewire-assisted cannulation, double-guidewire technique, and transpancreatic precut in twelve, two, and two patients, respectively. Balloons of 10 mm, 8 mm, and 6 mm in diameter were applied for EPBD in 8, 2, and 6 patients, respectively. Complete stone removal in one session was achieved in all patients. One round of laser lithotripsy was needed for stone ≤ 25 mm, and three-to-five rounds were needed for stones > 25 mm or multiple stones. One or two clips were used for endoscopic clipping. The time lengths of biliary access, digital cholangioscopy-assisted laser lithotripsy and stone extraction, and whole procedure were 3.5 ± 3.2 (0.5-12) minutes, 52.5 ± 30.6 (45-97) minutes, and 76 ± 23.3 (58-106) minutes, respectively. Asymptomatic hyperleukocytose, hyperamylasemia, and mild pancreatitis were present in 1, 2, and 1 patient(s), respectively. No other complications occurred. No cholangitis or recurrent CBD stones were observed. CONCLUSION Non-radiation digital cholangioscopy-guided laser lithotripsy is technically feasible and can be safely performed for endoscopic management of large CBD stones.

Peri-ampullary diverticulum was associated with a higher rate of acute cholangitis among patients with choledocholithiasis. Surg Endosc 2021; 36:2936-2941. [PMID: 34101011 DOI: 10.1007/s00464-021-08586-9] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/21/2020] [Accepted: 06/02/2021] [Indexed: 10/21/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Choledocholithiasis is a commonly encountered disease that is associated with various clinical presentations ranging from mild form of biliary colic to severe life-threatening acute cholangitis. Recently, peri-ampullary diverticulum (PAD) has been linked to the development of biliary diseases; however, data regarding its association with the development of acute cholangitis in the setting of choledocholithiasis are scarce. AIMS We aimed to identify predictors, specifically PAD, for the development of acute cholangitis in patients with choledocholithiasis. METHODS We performed a retrospective cross-sectional study of all patients admitted to Galilee Medical Center from 1 January 2010 to 31 December 2019 with different clinical presentations of documented choledocholithiasis including cholangitis, biliary pancreatitis, and biliary colic with abnormal liver enzymes. RESULTS Overall, 651 patients were included in the final analysis. Among them, 88 patients (13.5%) had choledocholithiasis associated with acute cholangitis (group A), as compared to 563 patients (86.5%) without acute cholangitis (group B). The average ages in groups A and B were 77.8 ± 13.6 and 62.4 ± 20.4 years, respectively (P < 0.0001). The rate of PAD was significantly higher in group A as compared to group B (35.2% vs. 19%, P = 0.0002). However, the rate of smoking, chronic liver diseases, hemolytic anemia, and post-cholecystectomy status were not different between the groups (P = 0.3, P = 0.3, P = 0.2, and P = 0.3), respectively. On univariate analysis, age (OR 1.05, P < 0.0001) and PAD (OR 2.32, P = 0.0006) were significantly associated with acute cholangitis. On multivariate logistic regression analysis, the effects of age and PAD were preserved (OR 1.05, 95% CI 1.03-1.07, P < 0.0001 and OR 1.64, 95% CI 1.02-2.72, P = 0.049), respectively. CONCLUSION PAD showed a significant association with the development of acute cholangitis among patients with choledocholithiasis. Identification of gallbladder and biliary stones in patients with PAD is of paramount importance since early diagnosis and treatment might prevent further life-threatening complications.

Abstract
The present study aimed to explore the influence of the presence of periampullary diverticula (PAD) on the implementation of endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP). A total of 388 patients with pancreaticobiliary disease who underwent ERCP for the first time between January 2017 and December 2018 were included and they were divided into a PAD group (n=179) and non-PAD (N-PAD) group (n=209) according to the presence or absence of PAD. A logistic regression model was used to analyze the risk factors for PAD. The prevalence of PAD in males was higher than that in females [odds ratio (OR)=2.250, 95% CI: 1.670-3.801]. The prevalence of PAD in patients with bile duct stone was 57.92% and higher than that in patients without stone (OR=4.475, 95% CI: 2.932-7.679). The morbidity of PAD in elderly patients with bile duct stone was higher than in those without stone (OR=6.728, 95% CI: 3.790-11.943). Among the elderly patients, the constituent ratio of males in the PAD group was higher than that in the N-PAD group (χ2=13.543, P<0.001). The constituent ratio of patients who underwent endoscopic sphincterotomy (EST) was lower than that in the N-PAD group (χ2=10.800, P<0.001). In conclusion, the occurrence of PAD was high in elderly males and closely related to the occurrence of bile duct stones.

Escalating complexity of endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography over the last decade with increasing reliance on advanced cannulation techniques. World J Gastroenterol 2020; 26:6391-6401. [PMID: 33244200 PMCID: PMC7656203 DOI: 10.3748/wjg.v26.i41.6391] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/09/2020] [Revised: 09/22/2020] [Accepted: 10/13/2020] [Indexed: 02/06/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND At our academic tertiary care medical center, we have noted patients referred for endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) who increasingly require advanced cannulation techniques. This trend is noted despite increased endoscopist experience and annual ERCP volume over the same period.
AIM To evaluate this phenomenon of perceived escalation in complexity of cannulation at ERCP and assessed potential underlying factors.
METHODS Demographic/clinical variables and records of ERCP patients at the beginning (2008), middle (2013) and end (2018) of the last decade were reviewed retrospectively. Cannulation approaches were classified as “standard” or “advanced” and duodenoscope position was labeled as “standard” (short position) or “non-standard” (e.g., long, semi-long).
RESULTS Patients undergoing ERCP were older in 2018 compared to 2008 (69.7 ± 15.2 years vs 55.1 ± 14.7, P < 0.05). Increased ampullary distortion and peri-ampullary diverticula were noted in 2018 (P < 0.001). ERCPs were increasingly performed with a non-standard duodenoscope position, from 2.2% (2008) to 5.6% (2013) and 16.1% (2018) (P < 0.001). Utilization of more than one advanced cannulation technique for a given ERCP increased from 0.7% (2008) to 0.9% (2013) to 6.6% (2018) (P < 0.001). Primary mass size > 4 cm, pancreatic uncinate mass, and bilirubin > 10 mg/dL predicted use of advanced cannulation techniques (P < 0.03 for each).
CONCLUSION Complexity of cannulation at ERCP has sharply increased over the past 5 years, with an increased proportion of elderly patients and those with malignancy requiring advanced cannulation approaches. These data suggest that complexity of cannulation at ERCP may be predicted based on patient/ampulla characteristics. This may inform selection of experienced, high-volume endoscopists to perform these complex procedures.

Clinical significance of different periampullary diverticulum classifications for endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography cannulation. World J Gastroenterol 2020; 26:2403-2415. [PMID: 32476801 PMCID: PMC7243649 DOI: 10.3748/wjg.v26.i19.2403] [Citation(s) in RCA: 12] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/26/2020] [Revised: 04/09/2020] [Accepted: 04/30/2020] [Indexed: 02/06/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Different types of periampullary diverticulum (PAD) may differentially affect the success of endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) cannulation, but the clinical significance of the two current PAD classifications for cannulation is limited.
AIM To verify the clinical value of our newly proposed PAD classification.
METHODS A new PAD classification (Li-Tanaka classification) was proposed at our center. All PAD patients with native papillae who underwent ERCP from January 2012 to December 2017 were classified according to three classification systems, and the effects of various types of PAD on ERCP cannulation were compared.
RESULTS A total of 3564 patients with native papillae were enrolled, including 967 (27.13%) PAD patients and 2597 (72.87%) non-PAD patients. In the Li-Tanaka classification, type I PAD patients exhibited the highest difficult cannulation rate (23.1%, P = 0.01), and type II and IV patients had the highest cannulation success rates (99.4% in type II and 99.3% in type IV, P < 0.001). In a multivariable-adjusted logistic model, the overall successful cannulation rate in PAD patients was higher than that in non-PAD patients [odds ratio (OR) = 1.87, 95% confidence interval (CI): 1.04-3037, P = 0.037]. In addition, compared to the non-PAD group, the difficulty of cannulation in the type I PAD group according to the Li-Tanaka classification was greater (OR = 2.04, 95%CI: 1.13-3.68, P = 0.004), and the successful cannulation rate was lower (OR = 0.27, 95%CI: 0.11-0.66, P < 0.001), while it was higher in the type II PAD group (OR = 4.44, 95%CI: 1.61-12.29, P < 0.01).
CONCLUSION Among the three PAD classifications, the Li-Tanaka classification has an obvious clinical advantage for ERCP cannulation, and it is helpful for evaluating potentially difficult and successful cannulation cases among different types of PAD patients.

Abstract
Research conclusions differ on the impact of periampullary diverticulum (PAD) on endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP). An up-to-date meta-analysis evaluated the role of PAD in ERCP, especially in terms of cannulation failure and early complications. A comprehensive literature search was performed. All statistical analyses were carried out with the Review Manager 5.3 software. Horizontal lines represented a 95% confidence interval (CI) and the area of each square in forest plots. Twenty-six studies including 23 826 patients with or without PAD who underwent ERCP were evaluated. PAD was associated with an increase in the overall cannulation failure rate (RR=1.46, 95% CI: 1.27-1.67; p<.00001), but in the subgroup of studies performed post-2000, PAD was irrelevant to cannulation failure (RR=1.16, 95% CI: 0.96-1.41; p=0.12). In overall analyses, PAD was also associated with a high risk of ERCP-related pancreatitis (RR=1.32, 95% CI: 1.10-1.59; p=0.003), perforation (RR=1.73, 95% CI: 1.06-2.82; p=0.030), and bleeding (RR=1.48, 95% CI: 1.13-1.93; p=0.005). The presence of PAD increased the overall cannulation failure rate, but not the rate post-2000. PAD also affected the occurrence of early pancreatitis, perforation, and bleeding.

Abstract
Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) is a well-known procedure with both diagnostic and therapeutic utilities in managing pancreaticobiliary conditions. With the advancements of endoscopic techniques, ERCP has become a relatively safe and effective procedure. However, as ERCP is increasingly being utilized for different advanced techniques, newer complications have been noticed. Post-ERCP complications are known, and mostly include pancreatitis, infection, hemorrhage, and perforation. The risks of these complications vary depending on several factors, such as patient selection, endoscopist's skills, and the difficulties involved during the procedure. This review discusses post-ERCP complications and management strategies with new and evolving concepts.

ERCP-related perforations: a population-based study of incidence, mortality, and risk factors. Surg Endosc 2019; 34:1939-1947. [PMID: 31559577 PMCID: PMC7113211 DOI: 10.1007/s00464-019-06966-w] [Citation(s) in RCA: 10] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/01/2019] [Accepted: 07/01/2019] [Indexed: 02/06/2023]
Abstract
Background Perforations related to endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) are rare but feared adverse events with highly reported morbidity and mortality rates. The aim was to evaluate the incidence and outcome of ERCP-related perforations and to identify risk factors for death due to perforations in a population-based study. Methods Between May 2005 and December 2013, a total of 52,140 ERCPs were registered in GallRiks, a Swedish nationwide, population-based registry. A total of 376 (0.72%) were registered as perforations or extravasation of contrast during ERCP or as perforation in the 30-day follow-up. The patients with perforation were divided into fatal and non-fatal groups and analyzed for mortality risk factors. The case volume of centers and endoscopists were divided into the upper quartile (Q4) and the lower three quartile (Q1–3) groups. Furthermore, fatal group patients’ records were reviewed. Results Death within 90 days after ERCP-related perforations or at the index hospitalization occurred in 20% (75 out of 376) for all perforations and 0.1% (75 out of 52,140) for all ERCPs. The independent risk factors for death after perforation were malignancy (OR 11.2, 95% CI 5.8–21.6), age over 80 years (OR 3.8, 95% CI 2.0–7.4), and sphincterotomy in the pancreatic duct (OR 2.8, 95% CI 1.1–7.5). In Q4 centers, the mortality was similar with or without pancreatic duct sphincterotomy (14% vs. 13%, p = 1.0), but in Q1–3 centers mortality was higher (45% vs. 21%, p = 0.024). Conclusions ERCP-related perforations are severe adverse events with low incidence (0.7%) and high mortality rate up to 20%. Malignancy, age over 80 years, and sphincterotomy in the pancreatic duct increase the risk to die after a perforation. The risk of a fatal outcome in perforations after pancreatic duct sphincterotomy was reduced when occurred at a Q4-center. In the case of a complicated perforation a transfer to a Q4-center may be considered.
