"eyeMax Insight" Cholangioscopy for Unexplained Bile Duct Stenosis

Not yet recruiting
Conditions
Bile Duct Stenosis
Interventions
Diagnostic Test: cholangioscopy
Registration Number
NCT05905744
Lead Sponsor
Changhai Hospital
Brief Summary

When clinical doctors cannot diagnose the cause of biliary stricture after comprehensive laboratory and imaging examinations, it is collectively referred to as unexplained bile duct stenosis. This study intends to analyze the diagnostic value of the biliary endoscopy system for unknown cause biliary strictures , and compare the diagnostic efficacy of biopsy under biliary endoscopy guidance with brushing cytology under ERCP.

Detailed Description

When clinical doctors cannot diagnose the cause of biliary stricture after comprehensive laboratory and imaging examinations, it is collectively referred to as unexplained bile duct stenosis. This study intends to analyze the diagnostic value of the biliary endoscopy system for unknown cause biliary strictures , and compare the diagnostic efficacy of biopsy under biliary endoscopy guidance with brushing cytology under ERCP.

The etiology of biliary strictures is complex, including not only malignant tumors , but also factors such as stones, inflammatory strictures, congenital variations and so on. Currently, the main methods for diagnosing malignant biliary obstruction in clinical practice include clinical examinations, biochemical testing (such as serum CA19-9), imaging, and endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP). However, these methods have limitations, such as the limited specificity and sensitivity of CA19-9 and the indirect imaging of ERCP after contrast agent filling. Therefore, these methods are relatively difficult to distinguish the benign and malignant nature of biliary lesions. This study intends to analyze the diagnostic value of the biliary endoscopy system for these unexplained bile duct stenosis.
