To document the clinical utility of percutaneous cholangiopancreatoscopy using a thin, disposable, flexible endoscope for evaluation and treatment of complex pancreaticobiliary disease in a prospective, multi-center case series
This case series aims to illustrate the clinical utility of percutaneous transhepatic cholangiopancreatoscopy using a thin, disposable, flexible endoscope performed by gastroenterological endoscopists and/or interventional radiologists in procedures including but not limited to: * PTCS for tissue diagnosis in cases of surgically or pathologically-altered anatomy, * PTCS for stone removal after surgically or pathologically-altered anatomy, * Percutaneous rendezvous to aid ERCP after failed endoscopic cannulation, * Percutaneous delivery of palliative intraluminal brachytherapy, * Intra-procedural percutaneous salvage procedures when an initial route of access fails
