Zusammenfassung
Background & Aims: Primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC) is associated with the development of cholangiocarcinoma (CC) in approximately 9% of patients. Cholangiography or endoscopic tissue sampling does not reliably allow to distinguish CC from a benign dominant bile duct stenosis. The aim of the present study was to assess the value of intraductal ultrasound (IDUS) in discriminating between benign and malignant dominant stenoses in PSC patients. Methods & Patients: Forty PSC patients with dominant bile duct stenoses were prospectively studied. Transpapillary IDUS and endoscopic tissue sampling were performed in…
