Summary

The investigators are evaluating the use of a SpyBite biopsy forceps for tissue diagnosis when compared to standard biopsy techniques.

Detailed description

The participants will undergo an Endoscopic Retrograde Cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) with cholangiopancreatoscopy and evaluation of a bile duct or pancreatic duct stricture with three different types of techniques for biopsy: SpyBite biopsy forceps, cytology brush and RJ3biopsy forceps.

Conditions

• Accuracy of Tissue Diagnosis
• Bile Duct Stricture
• Pancreatic Duct Stricture
