Utility of newly developed short‐type double‐balloon endoscopy for endoscopic retrograde cholangiography in postoperative patients

Abstract

The N-short DBE for ERC in postoperative patients is useful and safe. DB-ERC is promising therapeutic modality in such patients and should be selected as the first-line policy.

Performance of a new short‐type double‐balloon endoscope with advanced force transmission and adaptive bending for pancreaticobiliary intervention in patients with surgically altered anatomy: A propensity‐matched analysis

“…Shimatani et al . reported the utility and safety of the EI‐580BT endoscope; however, that study did not include a control group . Therefore, compared to the conventional short‐type DBE, it remains unknown whether the new features of the EI‐580BT endoscope improve scope insertion, pancreaticobiliary intervention, and safety.…”

“…Shimatani et al reported the utility and safety of the EI-580BT endoscope; however, that study did not include a control group. 20 Therefore, compared to the conventional short-type DBE, it remains unknown whether the new features of the EI-580BT endoscope improve scope insertion, pancreaticobiliary intervention, and safety. In the present study, the two new features of the EI-580BT endoscope appeared to have produced a substantial improvement with respect to insertion of the endoscope into the afferent loop through the sharp angulation in procedures such as jejuno-jejunostomy, resulting in a significantly shorter insertion time to the target site.…”

Endoscopic management of bile duct stones in patients with surgically altered anatomy

“…The introduction of endoscopic papillary large balloon dilation (EPLBD) enables easy and safe extraction of large bile duct stones . In addition, new short‐type balloon enteroscopes with a 3.2‐mm working channel, SIF‐H290S (Olympus, Tokyo, Japan) and EI‐580BT (Fujifilm, Tokyo, Japan), are now commercially available, which allow the use of most stone extraction devices.…”

Update in enteroscopy: New devices and new indications

“…Therefore, new DAE endoscopes have been developed in order to facilitate cannulation of the biliopancreatic system (Table ). Shorter DAE endoscopes allow the use of conventional ERCP accessory catheters . A larger working channel allows easier introduction of accessory catheters and stents and provides more powerful aspiration of intestinal fluids .…”

“…5,49-53 A larger working channel allows easier introduction of accessory catheters and stents and provides more powerful aspiration of intestinal fluids. 39,46,[51][52][53][54][55][56][57] An additional water jet channel allows better rinsing without the need to clear the accessory working channel. 15,19,56 A passive bending segment near the tip of the enteroscope allows its easier introduction across the Roux-en-Y anastomosis into the often tortuous afferent biliopancreatic limb.…”
