EXALTTM Model D case studies

EXALT Model D is the world’s first single-use duodenoscope for endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) procedures to be used across all ASGE complexity grades. Watch the case footage below to see how EXALT Model D offers maneuverability, stability and control in a wide variety of ERCP procedures.

Dr. Quin Liu of Cedars Sinai Medical Center uses EXALT Model D to perform an ERCP with stent exchange for a patient with history of liver transplant and resulting ischemic strictures. Model D was selected due to the patient’s history of antibiotic resistant bacteremia.


Dr. Jeremy Barber of Spectrum Health uses EXALT Model D in a patient with a history of unresectable pancreatic cancer presenting with cholangitis secondary to an obstructed biliary stent.
