Abstract
Duodenoscopic manometry of the pancreatic duct (PD_ and common bile duct (CBD) using a microtransducer catheter has distinct advantages over infusion manometry, giving absolute values ofin situ intraluminal pressure. Microtransducer manometry was performed without medication in 49 patients with gallbladder stones (10), common bile duct stones (24), hepatic duct stones (6) and common bile duct dilatation (9), and was successful in 42 (86%) for PD and 36 (73%) for CBD. Ductal pressures showed respiration-synchronized biphasic variations superimposed by the arterial pulsation effect. Considerable postural change of the pressure values suggested that the recording posture should be predetermined. The PD-to-duodenum pressure gradient was higher than the CBD-to-duodenum gradient in most cases. Both were lower than those obtained previously by infusion methods. No significant differences were found in pressure profiles of the four disease groups. Endoscopic sphincterotomy significantly reduced not only CBD pressure but also PD pressure.
