Biliary Diseases

This randomized controlled trial (RCT) is designed to evaluate the new generation Exalt Model disposable duodenoscope compared to the reusable scope in terms of feasibility, ease of use, adverse events, number of crossover events, and infection rates.

This study aims to implement and optimize the treatment of bile duct diseases in participants not eligible for endoscopic treatment using the Spyglass system, a system suitable for diagnostic and therapeutic endoscopic procedures in the pancreatic-biliary system, including the hepatic ducts. The main question it aims to answer is: \- Can the percutaneous cholangioscopic assisted technique resolve the biliary litiasis and/or perform endobiliary biopsies in less time than the traditional technique? Participants will undergo a colangioscopic-assisted treatment using the SpyGlass mini-endoscopic system at the Addomino-pelvic diagnostic and interventional radiology UOC of the Bologna University Hospital.
