What this Trial Is About
This study aims to implement and optimize the treatment of bile duct diseases in participants not eligible for endoscopic treatment using the Spyglass system, a system suitable for diagnostic and therapeutic endoscopic procedures in the pancreatic-biliary system, including the hepatic ducts. The main question it aims to answer is: \- Can the percutaneous cholangioscopic assisted technique resolve the biliary litiasis and/or perform endobiliary biopsies in less time than the traditional technique? Participants will undergo a colangioscopic-assisted treatment using the SpyGlass mini-endoscopic system at the Addomino-pelvic diagnostic and interventional radiology UOC of the Bologna University Hospital.
