AbstractAbstract PDFPubReaderePub
Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) in patients with Roux-en-Y gastric bypass anatomy is a well-documented challenge. Traditionally, this problem has been overcome with adjunctive techniques, such as device-assisted ERCP, including double-balloon or single-balloon enteroscopy and laparoscopy-assisted transgastric ERCP. Endoscopic ultrasound-directed transgastric ERCP (EDGE) is a novel technique that enables access to the ampulla using a duodenoscope without surgical intervention and has shown high clinical and technical success rates in recent studies. However, this approach is technically demanding, necessitating a thorough understanding of the gastrointestinal anatomy as well as high operator experience. In this review, we provide a technical overview of EDGE in parallel with our personal experience at our center and propose a simple algorithm to select patients for its appropriate application. In conjunction, the outcomes of EDGE compared with those of device-assisted and laparoscopy-assisted transgastric ERCP will be discussed.
