  • EUS endoscopic ultrasound
  • endoscopic ultrasound-guided (EUS-guided) biliary access is considered a rescue technique when endoscopic retrograde cholangiography (ERCP) fails due to cannulation failure or the inability to access the papilla.
  • Endoscopic ultrasound-guided biliary access is very technically challenging.
  • One of the reasons for the technically challenging nature of this procedure is the lack of dedicated tools, specifically tools that facilitate biliary access and allow manipulation of a wire in a desired direction, either to perform rendezvous (e.g. , in which the wire is passed down the papilla and then captured to be used to facilitate standard ERCP), or to advance the wire tow ard the liver and perform direct stenting of the bile duct.
  • Access needles for biliary access are disclosed herein. Access needles are also used to access the gallbladder, and abscesses and collections next to the gastrointestinal tract, in addition to uses for pancreatic cyst and pancreatic duct access. Some access needles include a 19-gauge access needle making them stiff and difficult to manipulate and advance into the bile duct. Moreover, these access needles typically include an opening for wire access at the tip of the needle. An opening for wire access at the tip of the needle creates a risk of wire shearing by the tip. The risk of wire shearing can be reduced by providing a pointed cutting tip on a stylet that is removed once the access is achieved, allowing insertion and manipulation of the wire. However, even with the reduced risk of shearing provided by a stylet, access needles with the wire opening at the tip do not allow easy guidance of the wire direction, and some risk of shearing may still remain.
  • high obstruction of the biliary tree may require the placement of two guidewires.
  • An example embodiment of the present disclosure allows two or more wires to be placed in selected dilated ducts for faster access, thus shortening the procedure.
  • an exemplary access needle makes the placement of two wires easier to perform, by allowing rotation of the location of a wire access port on a side of the needle.
  • an improved access needle is provided.
  • the improved access needle may be smaller than currently available needles and can vary in size e.g, between about 25-gauge and about 18-gauge, such as about 22-gauge), so as to be easier to manipulate and advance into the bile duct.
  • the needle includes an internal lumen that extends between a wire entry port at a proximal end and a wire exit port on a sidewall of the needle.
  • the lumen may include guide features that guide the wire from the lumen to the exit port along a curve that is not sharp.
  • the wire exit port does not cause shearing of the wire, forms a wide exit at an angle at a location that is not from the tip of the needle, and facilitates rotation of the direction of exit of the wire from the port.
  • the needle can be rotatable within and/or by a needle housing to rotate the location of the wire exit port.
  • the disclosed access needle allows the wire to be manipulated to exit in any desired direction.
  • the needle shaft that includes the lumen may be formed from a flexible material, and includes a tip shaped to facilitate advancing the needle and cutting through tough tissue such as the bile duct.
