In 17 patients with common bile duct calculi, percutaneous transhepatic balloon dilation of the distal common bile duct and the ampulla of Vater (hepaticopancreatic ampulla) was performed. The calculi were pushed into the duodenum with the catheter, and all were removed without significant complicatio...

Here, we report a case of NET of the extrahepatic bile duct in a 64-year-old male patient presenting with painless jaundice, direct hyperbilirubinemia, and mildly elevated transaminases. Diagnostic workup with an ultrasound revealed dilation of the intrahepatic biliary ducts, without cholelithiasis or...
Endoscopic sphincterotomy vs papillary large balloon dilation vs combination modalities for large common bile duct stones: a network meta-analysis included: (1) Endoscopic sphincterotomy (EST); (2) Endoscopic papillary large balloon dilation (EPLBD); and (3) EST plus large balloon dilation (ESL...
Hepatic ultrasound showed lithiasis of the common bile duct with intra- and extrahepatic bile duct dilation, as well as gallbladder lithiasis. The patient was taken to the operating room for laparoscopic evaluation. A pursestring suture was performed on the greater curvature of the gastric remnant....

Eligible patients (≥18 years) with native papilla and common bile duct stones (≤1·5 cm in size and <2 cm in diameter) undergoing ERCP were randomly assigned (1:1:1:1:1) to receive balloon dilation for 0, 30, 60, 180, or 300 s after deep bile duct cannulation. Randomisation was...
Removal of bile duct stones by the combination of percutaneous balloon dilation and extracorporeal shock-wave lithotripsy Endoscopic papillotomy may not be possible in patients who have previously undergone gastric surgery. We describe the successful treatment of such a patient with ultrasound-guided, pe...
