Percutaneous Transhepatic Cholangioscopy Interventions-Updates

Zachary M Haber et al. J Clin Gastroenterol. 2023.

Abstract

Percutaneous transhepatic cholangioscopy (PTCS) was initially described around the same time that peroral cholangioscopy (POSC) was developed. The cited utility attributed to PTCS is the ability to be utilized in the subset of patients with surgical proximal bowel anatomy, often precluding the use of traditional POSC. However, since first described, PTCS use has been limited due to a lack of physician awareness and a lack of procedure-specific equipment and supplies. With recent developments of PTSC-specific equipment, there has been an expansion in the possible interventions able to be performed during PTCS, resulting in a rapid increase in clinical use. This short review will serve as a comprehensive update of the previous and more recent novel interventions now able to be performed during PTCS.
