Spyglass Peroral Cholangioscopy Overcomes The Limitations Of Traditional Ercp In The Diagnosis And Treatment Of Biliary Tract Disorders

the common bile duct was achieved in all patients of both groups without any serious complications such as bleeding. The median hospital stays were 20 days and 27 days (not significant). The median number of endoscopic sessions were 1.6 and 2.2(p=0.05). Conclusion:Although no bleeding complication occurred even if antiplatelet/anticoagulation agents were continued, hospital stay and endoscopic procedure session increased when antiplatelet/anticoagulation agents were discontinued before EPBD. An advantage of discontinuation of anticoagulation and/or antiplatelet agents before EPBDwas not found in this study.
