Abstract Background Endoscopic balloon dilatation (EBD) is the established treatment for common bile duct (CBD) stones. Although pancreatitis and bleeding have been reported as major complications of EBD, balloon-related complications are rarely reported in EBD. Case presentation A 30-year-old woman with suspected CBD stones underwent endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) and EBD. During EBD, the balloon of the EBD catheter suddenly burst at the biliary sphincter. We therefore performed surgical intervention: removal of the broken EBD catheter and T-tube drainage. Finally, the patient was discharged without any complications. Conclusions We present a case involving a burst balloon of an EBD catheter as a rare complication during EBD, as well as the surgical technique that was used to treat this complication.

Clip migration into the common bile duct (CBD) is a rare complication of laparoscopic biliary surgery. We report a case of Hem-o-lok clip migration-induced CBD stone in a 66-year-old man who underwent laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC) and laparoscopic common bile duct exploration (LCBDE) 4 years ago. The patient visited the emergency room for upper abdominal pain. CT scan revealed increased CBD diameter and multiple CBD stones. We performed endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography for CBD stone extraction. Cholangiography revealed multiple suspected filling defects in the CBD; stones and unknown foreign body were removed using Basket. The foreign body found in the duodenum was a Hem-o-lok clip. When epigastric pain develops in a patient who has undergone LC and LCBDE, it is possible that biliary stone occurs due to clip migration.

Purpose: To evaluate results from treatment of concomitant gallstones and common bile duct (CBD) stones by ERCP and laparoscopic cholecystectomy. Analysis of single-step or separated-step characteristics. Object: During the 3 years (2015-2017), 285 patients CBD stones concomitant or not gallstones underwent ERCP, 68 patients concomitant gallstones and CBD suitable criteria for inclusion at Hue Central Hospital. Retrospective clinical descriptive study. Results: Average age 52.2±12.5 (24-90), male/female ratio of 0.7/1 (27/41). Abdominal pain was the most common symptom 91.2%, jaundice 51.5%, direct bilirubin increased 27.3±15.6μmol/l (2.2-165). The diameter of CBD stone is 12.4±3.2mm (6-20), gallstones size 11.3±6.2mm (536). The first time CBD stones 95.6%, recurrence CBD stones 4.4%. ERCP and laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC) 34patients, ERCP 1.4±2.5times and secondary LC. Single-step ductal clearance 76.5%, separatestep ductal clearance 94.1% (p=0.041). Length of hospital stay 6.5±4.3days and 13.6±2.2days (p<0.0001). Conclusions: The percentage of ductal clearance in the separate-step patients group was higher than that single-step patients group with p=0.041. The indication of cholecystectomy immediately endoscopic retrograde cholangio pancreatography should be based on the patient status, the ductal clearance as well as the complications. Key words: Common bile duct stones, Endoscopic retrograde cholangio pancreatography

Abstract Background: The safety of endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) for asymptomatic common bile duct (CBD) stones patients has not been fully studied. This study aimed to compare the incidence and severity of ERCP complications in patients with asymptomatic and symptomatic CBD stones and to provide evidence for the treatment of asymptomatic CBD stones.Methods: The clinical data of patients were retrospectively analyzed. These patients were divided into the asymptomatic CBD stones group and the symptomatic CBD stones group. Propensity score matching (PSM) was used to match the two groups. The incidence and severity of postoperative complications of ERCP in the two groups were analyzed.Results: A total of 79 patients who had asymptomatic CBD stones and 795 patients who had symptomatic CBD stones were included in this study. After PSM, 79 patients from asymptomatic CBD group and 316 patients from the symptomatic CBD stones group were identified. Before and after PSM, there were no significant differences in the incidence and severity of post-ERCP pancreatitis (PEP) between the two groups (P> 0.05). Besides, the incidence and severity of other complications including acute cholangitis, bleeding and perforation in the two groups was no differences before and after PSM (P>0.05).Conclusions: Patients with asymptomatic CBD stones are not at higher risk of getting ERCP-related complications when compared with those with symptomatic ones. ERCP is as safe and effective for asymptomatic CBD stones as for symptomatic patients.

Common bile duct stones in patients with a previous gastrectomy can be a technical challenge because of the altered anatomy. This paper presents the successful management of two such patients using non-traditional techniques as conventional endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography was not possible.

Aims. To investigate the effect of biliary stent placement without endoscopic sphincterotomy (EST) on common bile duct stones (CBDS) disappearance and the contribution of preserving the duodenal papilla function to reduce recurrence of CBDS.Methods. Sixty-six patients admitted for acute obstructive cholangitis due to CBDS who underwent biliary stent placement without EST for 2 years from March 2011 were evaluated retrospectively. The second endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) was performed for treatment of CBDS 3 to 4 months after the first ERCP. We estimated the rate of stone disappearance at the time of second ERCP.Results. CBDS disappearance was observed in 32 (48.5%) of 66 patients. The diameter of the bile ducts and the diameter of CBDS in patients with CBDS disappearance were significantly smaller than in those with CBDS requiring extraction (p=0.007andp<0.001, resp.). Stone disappearance was evident when the diameter of bile ducts and that of CBDS were <10 and 7 mm, respectively (p=0.002).Conclusions. Short-term stent placement without EST eliminates CBDS while preserving duodenal papilla function and may be suitable for treating CBDS in patients with nondilated bile ducts and small CBDS.
