3 Clinical Trials for Various Conditions
The purpose of this study is to compare the rate of long-term stent failure, defined as need for repeat biliary intervention following placement of C-SEMS vs U-SEMS for palliation of inoperable malignant distal bile duct obstruction.
Plastic biliary stents which are a new larger size will remain free of obstructions for a longer period of time than currently used 10 French stents in cancer in the common bile duct.
The purpose of this registry is to record information and evaluate the impact of Endoscopic Ultrasound (EUS) Guided Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) on the management of pancreatico-biliary disorders. The registry will evaluate efficacy, safety and technical success of the Endoscopic Ultrasound (EUS)Guided Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) procedures. The safety and efficacy of various EUS-Guided ERCP procedures have been assessed in a series of studies. This multi-center registry has been initiated: * To document the impact of EUS-Guided ERCP procedures on the management of pancreatico-biliary disorders including malignancies. * To assess the clinical and technical success rates of EUS-Guided ERCPs for diagnostic or therapeutic procedures. Design is retrospective and prospective registry study. Procedures that will be captured include: 1. EUS-Coils placement 2. EUS Glue injection 3. EUS-Fiducial placement 4. EUS-Neurolysis 5. EUS-Stent placement 6. EUS-alcohol injection 7. EUS-fluid collection, abscess or cavity drainage 8. EUS guided ductal drainage 9. EUS-guided Ablation 10. EUS-guided anastomosis 11. EUS Guided ERCP for gallbladder, pancreatic duct or biliary duct drainage
