Abstract<br />

Therapeutic endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography<br />

(ERCP) is the ma<strong>in</strong>stay treatment for bile<br />

duct disease. The procedure is difficult per se, especially<br />

when a side-view<strong>in</strong>g duodenoscope is used, and when<br />

the patient has altered anatomical features, such as<br />

<strong>colon</strong>ic <strong>in</strong>terposition. Currently, there is no consensus on<br />

the standard approach for therapeutic ERCP <strong>in</strong> patients<br />

with total esophagectomy and <strong>colon</strong>ic <strong>in</strong>terposition. We<br />

describe a novel treatment design that <strong>in</strong>volves the use<br />

<strong>of</strong> a side-view<strong>in</strong>g duodenoscope to perform therapeutic<br />

ERCP <strong>in</strong> patients with total esophagectomy and <strong>colon</strong>ic<br />

<strong>in</strong>terposition. A gastroscope was <strong>in</strong>itially <strong>in</strong>troduced<br />

<strong>in</strong>to the <strong>in</strong>terposed <strong>colon</strong> and a radio-opaque standard<br />

guidewire was advanced to a distance beyond the papilla<br />

<strong>of</strong> Vater, before the gastroscope was withdrawn. A sideview<strong>in</strong>g<br />

duodenoscope was then <strong>in</strong>troduced along the<br />

guidewire under fluoroscopic guidance. After cannulation<br />

<strong>in</strong>to the papilla <strong>of</strong> Vater, endoscopic retrograde chol-<br />

is possible to perform therapeutic ERCP <strong>in</strong> patients with<br />

INTRODUCTION<br />

The application <strong>of</strong> a side-view<strong>in</strong>g duodenoscope <strong>in</strong> total<br />

esophagectomy with <strong>colon</strong>ic <strong>in</strong>terposition is technically<br />

difficult, because <strong>of</strong> the altered structure <strong>of</strong> the <strong>colon</strong> and<br />

the redundancy <strong>of</strong> the endoscopic route. We report a wire-guided<br />

treatment designed to overcome this pitfall by<br />

<strong>in</strong>troduc<strong>in</strong>g a side-view<strong>in</strong>g duodenoscope along a radioopaque<br />

standard guidewire to facilitate therapeutic ERCP<br />

<strong>in</strong> patients undergo<strong>in</strong>g esophagectomy with <strong>colon</strong>ic <strong>in</strong>terposition.<br />

The use <strong>of</strong> this treatment method ensured the safety<br />

<strong>of</strong> wire-guided therapeutic ERCP <strong>in</strong> patients undergo<strong>in</strong>g<br />

total esophagectomy with <strong>colon</strong>ic <strong>in</strong>terposition.<br />
