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
