While the results of this study are promising, the most important consideration when deciding on the treatment of choledocholithiasis for an individual patient are expertise in the procedure, characteristics of the biliary tree, and local availability of resources. BExample of an internal biliary stents that can be placed percutaneously under fluoroscopic guidance. Results: Would you like email updates of new search results? These range from recommendations on testing and screenings to the role of endoscopy in managing certain diagnoses to sedation and anesthesia to adverse events and quality indicators. National Library of Medicine This study aimed to assess the diagnostic performance of the revision and to compare it to the previous guidelines. All Rights Reserved. If the diagnosis of choledocholithiasis is still in question following these tests, magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography (MRCP) is a non-invasive option, which has a sensitivity of>90% and specificity nearing 100% [4]. 2005 May;100(5):1051-7. doi: 10.1111/j.1572-0241.2005.41057.x.

Vimal K. Narula, D. Wayne Overby, William Richardson, and Dimitrios Stefanidis have no conflicts of interest or financial ties to disclose. Ultrasound findings consistent with choledocholithiasis include visualization of a common bile duct stone and a dilated common bile duct greater than 8-mm [3]. Although up to a third of patients with common bile duct (CBD) stones will pass them spontaneously without intervention, the majority of patients will require endoscopic and/or surgical intervention [2]. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.gie.2020.10.033. NIH state-of-the-science statement on endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) for diagnosis and therapy. Core clinical questions were derived using an iterative process by the ASGE SOP Committee. Example of an antegrade common bile duct stent that can be inserted laparoscopically under fluoroscopic guidance to allow for biliary drainage, if biliary clearance cannot be achieved intraoperatively. ASGE evidence-based guidelines provide clinicians with recommendations for the evaluation, diagnosis, and management of patients undergoing endoscopic procedures of the digestive tract. The SAGES clinical spotlight review on laparoscopic common bile duct exploration can be referenced for further discussion [16]. Accuracy of ASGE high-risk criteria in evaluation of patients with suspected common bile duct stones. Published by Elsevier Inc.

Quality documents define the indicators of high-quality endoscopy and how to measure it. Although these techniques have high success rates, there is a significant risk of bleeding via the transhepatic tract and it can also cause patient discomfort as well as dehydration secondary to fluid losses. 2019 Oct;33(10):3300-3313. doi: 10.1007/s00464-018-06620-x. 0000005832 00000 n The algorithm presented in Fig. patients with suspected choledocholithiasis is addressed 2022 Apr 28;28(16):1692-1704. doi: 10.3748/wjg.v28.i16.1692. A proposed strategy to assign risk of choledocholithiasis in patients with symptomatic cholelithiasis based on clinical predictors based on the ASGE Guidelines. If endoscopic measures are truly unsuccessful, there are a few options prior to surgical management, which include percutaneous radiologic treatment, extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy and dissolution therapy. Background: Recent guidelines from the European Society of Gastrointestinal Endoscopy (ESGE) and American Society for Gastrointestinal Endoscopy (ASGE) recommend risk stratification according to liver function test (LFT) and abdominal ultrasound in patients with suspected choledocholithiasis. This American Society for Gastrointestinal Endoscopy (ASGE) Standard of Practice (SOP) Guideline provides evidence-based recommendations for the endoscopic evaluation and treatment of choledocholithiasis. Guidelines are intended to be flexible. Acute Cholecystitis from Biliary Lithiasis: Diagnosis, Management and Treatment. The detection of bile duct stones in suspected biliary pancreatitis: comparison of MRCP, ERCP, and intraductal US. 2017 Sep;86(3):525-532. doi: 10.1016/j.gie.2017.01.039. Please do not post this document on your web site. The common bile duct can then be accessed with a small-bore catheter for saline flushes, which may be successful in dislodging stones into the duodenum. A 15mm port is placed into the greater curvature of the bypassed gastric remnant where the conventional duodenoscope can then be inserted and advanced to the duodenum to access and cannulate the ampulla and biliary tree. Choledocholithiasis is a common presentation of symptomatic cholelithiasis that can result in biliary obstruction, cholangitis, and pancreatitis. ASGE quality indicators are based on a rigorous review process which results in valid metrics for evaluating GI endoscopic procedures. If present, argon plasma coagulation and over-the-scope clip placement or revisional surgery with gastrogastric fistula takedown may be required for fistula closure [36]. Regardless, the surgeon must be familiar with all possible options at their disposal for managing the patient presenting with choledocholithiasis which are highlighted in this document.

See this image and copyright information in PMC. If these endoscopic approaches prove unsuccessful, a common bile duct exploration or PTBD with its associated percutaneous interventions can then be performed for common bile duct clearance, which have been described earlier in this document. Clin J Gastroenterol. However, the specificity and PPV would lead more than a third of these patients to receive diagnostic ERCPs. By alternating inflating and deflating the balloons and straightening the scope with the Overtube, the endoscope is progressed stepwise through the small intestine under fluoroscopic guidance and maneuvered into the biliopancreatic limb to access the ampulla [34].

Systematic review and meta-analysis of the 2010 ASGE non-invasive predictors of choledocholithiasis and comparison to the 2019 ASGE predictors. If the stones cannot be cleared intraoperatively, laparoscopic transcystic biliary stent placement can be performed under fluoroscopic guidance which can facilitate biliary drainage and allows for post-operative ERCP to be performed electively and more successfully. recommended.

The recommendations are therefore considered valid at the time of its production based on the data available. Tunruttanakul S, Chareonsil B, Verasmith K, Patumanond J, Mingmalairak C. JGH Open. However, in the event of failure of endoscopic techniques or in patients with rapid deterioration and sepsis-induced organ damage, percutaneous transhepatic biliary drainage should be considered as described earlier in this review.

Patients without evidence of jaundice and a normal bile duct on ultrasound have a low probability of choledocholithiasis (<5%) [9]. 3300 Woodcreek Dr., Downers Grove, IL 60515 4). This body developed all recommendations founded on the certainty of the evidence, balance of risks and harms, consideration of stakeholder preferences, resource utilization, and cost-effectiveness. 3). However, a simulation-based mastery learning curriculum has been shown to increase the clinical utilization, skill acquisition and adoption of laparoscopic common bile duct exploration [20]. Guidelines are applicable to all physicians who address the clinical problem(s) without regard to specialty training or interests, and are intended to indicate the preferable, but not necessarily the only acceptable approaches due to the complexity of the healthcare environment. For all patients with suspected choledocholithiasis, obtaining liver transaminases, bilirubin and a transabdominal ultrasound are recommended as preliminary investigations to identify patients with high likelihood of common bile duct stones. World J Gastroenterol 16:5388-5390, Ogura T, Higuchi K (2015) Technical tips of endoscopic ultrasound-guided choledochoduodenostomy. Complications of common bile duct exploration include retained stones (05%), bile leak (2.326.7%), common bile duct stricture (00.8%) and pancreatitis (03%). Nonoperative imaging techniques in suspected biliary tract obstruction. ASGE strives to provide clinically relevant and practical recommendations, which can help standardize patient care and improve outcomes. Among more than 10,000 ERCPs performed in a 14-hospital system over 7 years, 744 cases were randomly selected from those performed for suspected choledocholithiasis, while excluding those with a prior cholecystectomy or sphincterotomy. 0000004765 00000 n Laparoscopic IOC has an approximate sensitivity of 75100% and a specificity of 76100% [14,15].
