Biliary stricture with stones Mathew Philip PVS Institute of Digestive Diseases Kochi
Standard therapy for CBD stones • ERC with sphincterotomy and stone extraction • 85% to 90% of CBD stones can be removed with Dormia basket or balloon catheter
Difficult common bile duct stones • Not amenable to extraction by the standard technique of sphincterotomy followed by use of a Dormia basket or balloon
CBD stone removal - Challenges • Large stones (> 15 mm diameter) • Impacted stones • Intra hepatic stones • Bile duct stricture • Narrow distal CBD • Poorly expandable common bile duct • Difficult anatomy
Bile duct stricture with stones • True strictures with stones
Bile duct stricture with stones • Poorly expandable CBD with stones Chi-Liang Cheng et al WJG 2012
Management • Endoscopic • ESWL • Surgery
Endoscopic techniques • ERC/ ES / Mechanical Lithotripsy • Balloon dilatation followed by lithotripsy • Multiple Stents followed by lithotripsy later • Cholangioscopy – Holmium laser lithotripsy/ EHL • Permanent biliarystenting
Biliarystenting • Potential definitive treatment in selected elderly patients who are poor candidates for surgery • Endoprosthesismay reduce stone size • May allow later clearance of unextractable stones • Problems - cholangitis
ESWL • Accepted modality for large CBD stones • NBD and ESWL followed by stone removal and stenting Tandan M et al J GastroenterolHepatol. 2009
ESWL Pre ESWL Post ESWL Tandan M et al J GastroenterolHepatol. 2009
Surgery • Lap vs. open • Definitive treatment for stricture • When ERCP is impossible or stone retrieval is incomplete, LECBD is the solution to difficult CBD stones
CBD stricture with stones Factors influencing treatment • Associated cholangitis • High risk patients • Anatomical abnormality • GB in situ with stones • Intra hepatic stones(RPC)
