PTH-035Dilated common bile duct, stone size and multiple stones are predictors of endoscopic papillary large volume balloon dilatation in the management of complex common bile duct stonesABSTRACTdoi:10.1136/gutjnl-2015-309861.923Aujla, UILee, HL...
Introduction Endoscopic papillary large volume balloon dilatation (EPLVBD) has been used safely and effectively for stone removal in patients with complex common bile duct stones (CBDS). There remains a significant variation in practice particularly concerning the timing and preference to perform EPLVBD...
Unchanged size of a dilated common bile duct after a fatty meal: results and significance. Sonographic measurement of common bile duct caliber alone is insufficient to ascertain the presence of obstruction. Fatty meal stimulation significantly improves diagnostic accuracy. An increase in caliber of a ...
Control observations in patients who did not have dilated common bile ducts have all failed to demonstrate this structure, suggesting that it is not the portal vein. Tentative conclusions are that if the common bile duct is dilated to a true diameter of about 1.5 cm or more, it is ...
A 45-year-old man presented with recurrent haematuria. He also had history of upper abdominal pain for 1month. On examination he had left varicocele. On ultrasonogram (USG), he had a grossly dilated common bile duct (CBD). No abnormality of the urinary tract was seen on USG. His ...
Background: Dilatation of common bile duct (CBD) is mostly pathological and mainly occurs secondary to mechanical causes. We aimed to explore the prevalence of CBD dilatation in Intraductal Papillary Mucinous Neoplasms of the pancreas (IPMN) among patients referred to EUS. Methods: A retrospective ...
Mostly they are found in children and do not typically lead to the formation of common bile duct stones. It is uncertain whether primary CBD stones and acquired choledochal cysts exist. We present an 80-year-old woman presented with epigastric discomfort. Investigation revealed dilatation of the ...
Dilated Pancreatic Duct and Common Bile Duct in a Patient with Abdominal Pain and Weight LossAgarwal, BankeKuehn, StephenCollins, Brian T.Official journal of the American College of Gastroenterology | ACG
Choledochoceles (type III biliary cysts) are cystic dilations of the terminal common bile duct or common pancreatobiliary channel. Although no size criteria have been defined, it is generally assumed these must be large. However, we describe patients who do not meet the perceived size criteria ...
Mo1146 Clinical Course of Asymptomatically Dilated Common Bile DuctPhlegmonous gastritis is an acute and severe infectious disease that is occasionally fatal if the diagnosis is delayed. Alcohol consumption, an immunocompromised state (e.g., due to HIV infection, rheumatoid arthritis, diabetes ...
