Forgotten Biliary Stent Trapped in an Impacted Stone: Successful Extraction After Combined Electrohydraulic Lithotripsy and Basket Retrieval By Cholangioscopy
77-years-old woman with obstructive jaundice. Five-years earlier, underwent ERCP with plastic stent placement due to incomplete removal of bile stones and was lost to follow-up. Presently, abdominal-CT identified dilated CBD with stones and a stent. During ERCP the stent fragmented and was not retrieved. Cholangioscopy with SpyGlassDS revealed a plastic stent encased in stones impacted on the CBD. Electrohydraulic lithotripsy(EHL) followed by complete removal of the stent and stones was perfomed using the SpyGlass Retrieval Basket.
The video illustrates the effectiveness and safety of cholangioscopic-guided-EHL for difficult bile duct stones with high clearance rates; and the usefulness of Spyglass devices.
