Data are presented as n (%) or mean ± SD. Biliary and pancreatic strictures were considered indeterminate if they remained without diagnosis after conventional ERCP with negative or inconclusive cytology and/or biopsy. Cholangioscopy and pancreatoscopy were considered technically successful if the endoscopist was able to progress with the SpyScope® to the lesion, with successful biopsies in the case of undetermined strictures.
