Event or Problem Description
|
|
Olympus reviewed the following literature titled "usefulness of bile duct biopsy using the new device delivery system endosheather".Diagnosis including benign / malignant differentiation of biliary tract stenosis cases is often made.It is difficult to collect bile duct tissue under erc.Bile duct biopsy is said to be more diagnostic than scraping cytology, and if accurate sniper biopsy is possible, it is expected that the diagnostic ability of bile duct lesions and the accuracy of preoperative mapping biopsy of malignant biliary strictures will be improved.We have developed a device delivery system, endo sheather (es), for the purpose of bile duct biopsy.This device consists of an inner catheter coaxial with the guide wire (gw) and a tapered tip with a small diameter difference, and an outer sheath into which devices up to 5.7 fr can be inserted.Inside the outer sheath is a biopsy forceps for the large intestine.It can be inserted.By using es, quick and accurate sniper biopsy of the target site of biopsy is expected.[type of adverse events / number of patients] pancreatitis 9: mild 6 moderate 1 severe 2, cholangitis 1.
