Anterograde cholangioscopy through ultrasound-guided hepaticogastrsotomy (HGS) for large hepatolithiasis treatment
Authors
Abstract Text 83-year-old man with acute cholangitis. ERCP revealed large lithiasis in the left hepatic duct with non-complete inflammatory stenosis. Retrograde extraction failed even with cholangioscope due to angulation. EUS-guided HGS with antimigration FCSEMS it is performed for temporary drainage. 8 weeks later, an antegrade cholangiography revealed inflammatory stricture and spontaneous clearance of the hepatolithiasis, with just a few sludge. Stricture was crossed with cholangioscope and we explored common hepatic duct and the bile duct. Stricture was dilated with a balloon. Afterwards retrograde cholangioscope via the native papilla was possible. EUS-HG made it possible to drain and access the bile duct with an antegrade approach to solve the large lithiasis and to observe the stricture.
