    BACKGROUND: Confirmation of malignancy within biliary strictures is endoscopically challenging. Dilation of strictures has been reported to enhance cytological diagnosis. AIM: To compare brush cytology results before and after biliary stricture dilation. PATIENTS AND METHODS: Patients with extra-hepatic biliary stricture at endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography were included in the study. Brushing was performed before and immediately after dilation using a 10 Fr dilating catheter. Cytology samples were classified as: negative for malignancy, presence of atypical cells, insufficient material, suspicious for malignancy or positive for malignancy. Final diagnosis was established by surgery, biopsy or follow-up. RESULTS: Biliary brush cytology was performed in 50 patients, with an overall sensitivity of 40% and 27.5%, before and after dilation, respectively. The combination of results increased cancer detection rate to 45%. There were 5/50 (10%) minor complications and one death related to the procedure. CONCLUSIONS: Brush cytology performed before biliary stricture dilation has a similar cancer detection rate to that following dilation, although the combination of results enhances sensitivity.

    Papel da ranitidina como meio de aprimorar a qualidade do exame de colangiopancreatografia por ressonância magnética

    OBJECTIVE: To assess the impact of oral ranitidine on the imaging quality in magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography (MRCP). MATERIALS AND METHODS: Thirty-two patients underwent MRCP with 3D and 2D acquisitions, and three strategies for suppression of the gastrointestinal fluid signal: a) only at fasting; b) 12 hours after ingestion of 300 mg ranitidine; c) after oral administration of gadolinium solution. Three observers reviewed the images with a focus on the degree of visualization of the biliopancreatic tree. The interobserver agreement was evaluated with the kappa test. The difference between techniques and acquisition modalities were evaluated by means of average grading scores. RESULTS: The three strategies for suppression of the gastrointestinal fluid signal presented high reproducibility. The results with suppression of the gastrointestinal fluid signal with ranitidine where similar to those obtained with fasting, and both were worse than those obtained with gadolinium solution. The 3D acquisitions surpassed 2D only in terms of visibility of the cystic duct and gallbladder, and were inferior or equivalent in the other biliopancreatic ductal segments. CONCLUSION: The use of ranitidine does not seem justified in the evaluation of the biliopancreatic tree at MRCP, since 2D MRCP with fasting allows the visualization of ductal structures with high quality and reproducibility in the majority of cases.
