-
EUS-guided pancreaticobiliary procedures with the RIVOS access device
This study tests how the RIVOS EUS access device performs during interventional procedures for pancreatic and bile duct problems in adults.
-
Sedation Methods in PTBD: How Two Regimens Compare for Quality and Recovery
This study tests two sedation plans (propofol with remifentanil vs propofol with ketamine) to see which helps patients recover faster after PTBD while staying comfortable and safe.
-
12-mm Partially Covered vs Bare Self-Expandable Stents for Malignant Distal Biliary Obstruction
This study tests whether a 12-mm partially covered self-expandable stent works better than a 12-mm bare self-expandable stent for patients with unresectable malignant distal biliary obstruction who have already had PTBD.
-
Intraductal antibiotic given during ERCP for acute cholangitis
This trial tests whether putting an antibiotic directly into the bile ducts during ERCP, together with standard IV antibiotics, helps adults with mild-to-moderate acute cholangitis recover faster and avoid worsening infection compared with IV antibiotics alone.
-
Mechanical versus electrocautery dilator for EUS-guided biliary drainage
This trial will test whether using a mechanical dilator instead of an electrocautery dilator reduces bleeding during EUS-guided biliary drainage for patients with biliary obstruction after failed ERCP.
-
Preventing acute cholecystitis using endoscopic techniques
This study is testing if a new endoscopic technique can help prevent acute cholecystitis in patients with certain conditions better than standard care.
-
Biodegradable balloon-expandable biliary stent for benign and malignant bile duct strictures
A one-arm study tests a biodegradable, balloon-expandable stent to open narrowed bile ducts and see if it’s safe and works for people with biliary obstructions.
-
Registry analyzing outcomes of therapeutic endoscopic ultrasound procedures
This study looks at how well therapeutic endoscopic ultrasound works for people with gastrointestinal issues and what factors might affect the results.
