ENDOSCOPIC-RADIOLOGIC RENDEZ-VOUS CHOLEDOCHAL RECONSTRUCTION FOR THE TREATMENT OF POST-SURGICAL COMMON BILE DUCT TRANSECTION
A 76-year-old female presented complete choledochal transection (E3 Strasberg) after combined cytoreductive surgery with Hyperthermic Intra Peritoneal Chemotherapy for Pseudomyxoma Peritonei.
A rendez-vous procedure by percutaneous and endoscopic approach was performed. The sphincterotome with the stiff tip of the guidewire was advanced until reaching the common bile duct (CBD) transection, closed by metal clips. The CBD was then punctured by the guidewire and a basket was advanced percutaneously through the anterior duct, over the CBD transection until grasping the wire, restoring the CBD. Finally, a FC-SEMS was placed endoscopically over the guidewire. Cholangiography showed no leak of medium contrast.
