Abstract

Boston Scientific (Boston Scientific Corporation, USA) developed a fibreoptic cholangioscopy platform in 2007 called SpyGlass™ that revolutionized single operator cholangioscopy. This system included a cholangioscopy catheter that could be introduced through the working channel of a duodenoscope and disposable devices that could be introduced through an instrumentation channel on the cholangioscope. The fibreoptic system was upgraded to a digital SpyGlass™ DS. The SpyGlass™ DS and DS II systems represent a significant improvement in image resolution in comparison to the legacy fibreoptic system.
