Official title
A Prospective Study of the Factors Associated With Increased Risk of Bacteremia and Cholangitis in ERCP With Cholangioscopy
Brief summary
Reproduced verbatim from the official ClinicalTrials.gov record. Not medical advice.
An Endoscopic retrograde cholangio pancreatography (ERCP) with cholangioscopy (endoscope to directly visualize the bile duct ) is a procedure (a small flexible tube that is inserted into the participants mouth to the participants stomach and into the participants liver to visualize the bile duct) that is usually performed in patients for the following purposes : 1. The removal of all stones from the participants bile duct (if present). 2. Acquiring a tissue sample biopsy from any common bile mass to examine (if present). 3. Acquiring tissue sample biopsy from common bile duct narrowing (if present). However this procedure is associated with an increase risk of infection compared with the standard ERCP (ERCP without cholangioscopy). Previous studies have shown that despite the administration of antibiotics prior to these procedures, infection still occurs. This leads to a suspicion that other factors may be the cause in these infections. Factors such as age, race, gender and ethnicity have not been fully explored yet. This study aims to examine these factors in addition to others in patients who are undergoing ERCP with cholangioscopy as part of their routine medical care. This examination will allow us to bring out if any of the above mentioned factors may be involved in the development of an infection after ERCP with cholangioscopy.
