Confocal laser endomicroscopy (pCLE) provides real-time histologic imaging of human tissues at a depth 60-70 μm during endoscopy. pCLE the extrahepatic bile duct after fluorescein injection demonstrated reticular pattern within fluorescein-filled sinuses that had no known anatomical correlate. Freezing biopsy tissue before fixation preserved anatomy this structure, demonstrating it is part submucosa and previously unappreciated fluid-filled interstitial space, draining to lymph nodes...
Confocal laser endomicroscopy (CLE) is rapidly emerging as a valuable tool for gastrointestinal endoscopic imaging. Fluorescent contrast agents are used to optimize imaging with CLE, and intravenous fluorescein the most widely agent. Fluorescein FDA-cleared diagnostic angiography of retina. For these indications, safety profile has been well-documented; however, date, not cleared use CLE.To estimate rate serious total adverse events attributable when CLE.We performed cross sectional survey...
Recent reports suggest that prevalence of gastrointestinal (GI) and hepatic manifestations in COVID-19 are higher than initially reported, particularly Western populations. New York City has arguably been the epicenter pandemic United States, creating a unique opportunity to further understanding this disease. Our objectives were investigate GI patients with COVID-19, explore their effect on clinical outcomes these patients. This is retrospective review consecutive adult (age ≥18) positive...
One hundred and twenty patients with known common bile duct stones were entered into a prospective randomised study of preoperative endoscopic sphincterotomy stone clearance (group 1) versus surgery alone 2).

In was successful in 50 (91%); five these refused elective surgery, though this subsequently necessary one. cleared surgically 54 59 (91.5%); one patient treated by...
The indications and results of 394 endoscopic sphincterotomies (ES) performed over a 6 year period from single centre are described. for ES were common bile duct (CBD) calculi (81 per cent), papillary stenosis (9 periampullary tumours, insertion endoprostheses, sump syndrome biliary dilatation benign strictures. was achieved in 98 cent patients. In the calculus group CBD cleared stones 93.3 following successful (92 overall success rate clearance). Early complications (less than or equal to 1...
Ninety-four patients admitted to Leicester Hospitals with acute cholangitis since 1977 were reviewed coincide the availability of endoscopic sphincterotomy (ES). Thirty-four men and sixty women, their mean age was 69.7 years median hospital stay 20 days. There 15 deaths (16 per cent) by 30 days in significantly lower initial serum albumin levels (P less than 0.005) higher urea 0.05) survivors. Eighty-two had common bile duct (CBD) calculi whom 71 underwent early decompression biliary tree...
There are few data in the literature regarding indications, therapy, and safety of endoscopic management pancreatico-biliary disorders during pregnancy. We report largest single center experience with ERCP pregnancy.We reviewed 15 patients that underwent In all patients, pelvis was lead-shielded fetus monitored by an obstetrician. Fluoroscopy minimized hard copy radiographs taken only when essential.The mean patient age 28.9 yr (15-36 yr). The duration gestation 25 wk (12-33 wk); one first,...
The integrity of the main pancreatic duct (MPD) was evaluated by endoscopic retrograde pancreatography (ERP) in a retrospective study 105 patients with acute pancreatitis presenting over an 11-year period (1980-1991). findings were compared clinical outcome and need to operate for local complications. Patients divided into two groups. Group 1 (n = 89) had either clinically mild or severe disease but no surgery complications, < 25 per cent necrosis on contrast-enhanced computed tomography...
