Overview

Brief Summary

The endomicroscopy is an adaptation of traditional optical microscopy in the digestive endoscopy. Furthermore, with the integration of a miniaturized laser confocal microscope to a videoendoscope, it's possible to study the digestive mucous by "optical biopsy". This monocentric, non randomized and prospective study uses the Intra-ductal confocal endomicroscopy for the characterization of pancreas and bile duct tumor.

Detailed Description

Primary objective: Obtain a tissular characterization of a biliary or pancreatic stenosis with a confocal microscope which is in direct contact of the stenosis during the Endoscopic Retrograde Cholangio-Pancreatography (ERCP). Secondary objectives: * Compare the result of this "optical biopsy" to a conventional biopsy. * Tolerance

Outcomes

Primary Outcomes

The principal outcome is the percentage of successful in vivo examination according to the localisation of the stenosis. A successful examination is defined by the obtention of exploitable image for the anatomopathology.

Time Frame: 2 days

Secondary Outcomes

  • Study of the concordance between optical and histological biopsy(2 days)
  • Frequency and grade of adverse effects induced by the confocal endomicroscopy(2 days)
