MINIMAL RESIDUAL INTRAHEPATIC LITHIASIS TREATED WITH INTRADUCTAL LITHOTRIPSY
This video present a case of combined extra- and intrahepatic lithiasis; patient underwent a first ERCP with mechanic lithotripsy and removal of stones from common bile duct (CBD). Since patient was still mild symptomatic and blood test did not normalize, a new cholangio-MRI was performed, showing residual intrahepatic lithiasis.
A second ERCP with intraductal ultrasound (IDUS) and cholangioscopy was performed, in order to reach the intrahepatic stone and perform a intraductal lithotripsy. A systematic exploration of the biliary tree was performed reaching the stone, and the intraductal lithotripsy was successfully done.
