Abstract

The development of front-line endoscopic technology has introduced new opportunities during endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) to single-handedly allow direct inspection of detailed structures of the biliary and even the pancreatic duct. This paper presents a new flexible technology delivered with an outer diameter of 0.9 mm giving an image transmission of 6000 pixels. We report on a case where direct inspection of an alleged duct defect, of potential pathogenetic significance, was considered essential in order to substantiate the subsequent clinical management.
