If that returns normal results, the next step would be to perform endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography.

As with choledocholithiasis, diagnosis is confirmed using cholangiopancreatography.

All patients underwent an abdominal ultrasound examination before endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography.

On the other hand patients presenting with very advanced disease were not included through compassionate avoidance of endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography.

Ampullary biopsies were taken at endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography and similarly processed.

Cholangiopancreatography can refer to:

From January 1989 to January 1991 a total of 146 patients underwent endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography for choledocholithiasis.

Magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography, in medical imaging, a technique to visualise the biliary tract and pancreatic ducts.

Thus all patients had at least two biliary lesions (strictures/irregularities) shown at endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography.

This procedure is called MRCP (magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography).

If necessary, endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) is used.

It can also be used to image joint spaces and in endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP).

The diagnosis was made in 57 patients by endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography and in three by percutaneous transhepatic cholangiography.

Six patients, all with malignant strictures, had bile samples taken at both endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography and percutaneous transhepatic cholangiography.

The positivity rate for samples collected at endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography was 31% in comparison with 22% at percutaneous transhepatic cholangiography.

The gold standard test for biliary obstruction is still endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP).

Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) is the most common approach in unblocking the bile duct.

It allows access to the biliary tree in cases where endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) has been unsuccessful.

The endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography was carried out in the standard manner using an Olympus or Pentax sideviewing endoscope under antibiotic cover.

This may well reflect differences in case definition and the limitations inherent in their retrospective study, in which endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography was not a routine investigation.

Kutner suspects a pancreatic tumor and wants to perform an ERCP (endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography).

Elderly patients undergoing endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) have an increased risk of sedation related complications during the procedure.

Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) is now well established in the diagnosis and treatment of biliary and pancreatic disorders.

ERCP (short for endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography) is a procedure used to diagnose diseases of the gallbladder, biliary system, pancreas, and liver.

Magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography (MRCP) is a non-invasive alternative to ERCP.
