Abstract
We aimed to assess radial endosonographic (EUS) features of the bile duct wall and biliary luminal liquid characteristics in cases with acute cholangitis. This prospective study was performed during January 2009-February 2010 in a tertiary referral center. Twenty-eight patients with acute cholangitis and 60 patients without acute cholangitis with cholestasis due to gallstone disease were enrolled into the study. During radial EUS examination, sonographic features of the common bile duct wall, intraductal luminal content and nearby periductal structures were investigated.
