Medical management involves the dissolution of pancreatic stones using chemicals. Endoscopic management involves ERCP, removal of stone, …
These include cases in which access to the bile duct is challenging (e.g., periampullary diverticulum, altered anatomy after gastric bypass), and/or the size, shape, or location of the stones within the bile duct is difficult to determine for mechanical lithotripsy (ML) and extraction.
Two main basic stone extraction devices including extraction balloon catheters and basket catheters are used for stone extraction. After endoscopic sphincterotomy or balloon dilation of the ampulla, the common bile duct stones can be extracted using either of these devices.
Mechanical lithotripsy is a commonly used, effective method for fragmenting large biliary or pancreatic duct stones. Real-world data on the most commonly reported adverse events and modes of failure associated with mechanical lithotripters are limited. We analyzed the postmarketing surveillance data from the U.S. Food and Drug …
The success rate for removal of common bile duct stones ranges from 80 to 90% [3, 4]. An unusual but possible complication is Dormia basket impaction or Traction cable breakage when removing CBD stones. ... Adler D.G., Conway J.D., Farraye F.A.

The American Society for Gastrointestinal Endoscopy (ASGE) Technology Committee provides reviews of existing, new, or emerging endoscopic technologies that have an impact on the practice of GI endoscopy. Evidence-based methodology is employed by using a MEDLINE literature search to identify pertinent clinical studies on the topic and a …
Background In Japan and Europe, a retrieval basket is generally used for endoscopic extraction of bile duct stones, while in the US, a retrieval balloon is mainly used. However, the efficacies of these two devices have not been previously compared. Therefore, the present multicenter, prospective, randomized study was performed to …
