Intrahepatic bile duct stone Treatment with a Cholangioscopic-Assisted Basket

We report a case of a 68-year-old man, admitted to our Unit for jaundice and difficult common bile duct stones.

Patient underwent endoscopic retrograde cholagiopancreatography and cholangiography confirmed multiple common bile duct stones. After a partial stone clearance with sphincterotomy and balloon extraction, occlusion cholangiogram highlighted a residual 7 mm stone of the left hepatic duct. Subsequent cholangioscopic evaluation showed the stone impacted in an angulated duct. The stone was extracted with the SpyGlass retrieval basket (Boston Scientific, Marlborough, Massachusetts) under cholangioscopic guidance,on the basis of its difficult location, with success and without post-procedural major adverse events.
