Disease relevance of Duodenoscopes

• To determine the significance of manometric pressure of the pancreatic duct, we used a microtransducer inserted through a duodenoscope to measure pressures in the papillary sphincter zone and pancreatic main duct in 20 control subjects and 20 patients with chronic pancreatitis, and recorded the effect of exogenous glucagon or secretin [1].

High impact information on Duodenoscopes

• The adult side-viewing duodenoscope, Olympus JF1T, was used for all procedures [2].
• Using an experimental insulated duodenoscope and a diathermy wire, papillotomy has been performed on 10 patients under diazepam sedation [3].
• CONCLUSIONS: EUS and K-ras determination in pure pancreatic juice collected via a duodenoscope may be useful for the diagnosis of pancreatic mass lesions [4].
• A 3.4 mm miniscope inserted through a standard duodenoscope was used for transpapillary laser application under direct vision in one patient with an impacted pancreatic stone and in three patients with bile duct stones not amenable to treatment by routine endoscopy [5].

Anatomical context of Duodenoscopes

• Using an Olympus duodenoscope and this cutting probe, endoscopic sphincterotomy has been successfully performed in 38 out of 40 patients with common bile duct stones without any serious complications [6].

Associations of Duodenoscopes with chemical compounds

• A 7F double pigtail endoprosthesis was used in the majority of patients and was inserted with an Olympus JF-1T duodenoscope [7].

Gene context of Duodenoscopes

• EUS and K-ras analysis of pure pancreatic juice collected via a duodenoscope after secretin stimulation for diagnosis of pancreatic mass lesion: a prospective study [4].

Analytical, diagnostic and therapeutic context of Duodenoscopes

• ERCP was done using the TFJ 100 or TJ 20 Olympus duodenoscope [8].
