Single-balloon enteroscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography in the setting of altered upper gastrointestinal anatomy.

Single-balloon enteroscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography in the setting of altered upper gastrointestinal anatomy. Proc (Bayl Univ Med Cent). 2018 Oct;31(4):467-469 Authors: Smith S, Stagg J, Naumann C Abstract Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography in the setting of altered upper gastrointestinal anatomy presents several procedural challenges. Use of a standard side-viewing duodenoscope is often precluded by the patient's anatomy, thus rendering a limited examination of the ampulla and difficult cannulation of the bile duct. The authors present a case of single-balloon enteroscopy with successful endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography, direct cholangioscopy, and cystic duct stone extraction using only an enteroscope.
