Official title
Prospective Evaluation of Residual Bile Duct Stone Detection by Peroral Cholangioscopy That Is Missed With Conventional ERCP and Cholangiogram
Brief summary
Reproduced verbatim from the official ClinicalTrials.gov record. Not medical advice.
Gallstone disease affects over 20 million Americans. Among patients with gallbladder disease, the prevalence of choledocholithiasis (stones in the bile duct) is estimated to be 10-20%. Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) is considered the standard of care for removing stones in the bile duct utilizing a variety of conventional methods including biliary sphincterotomy, sphincteroplasty, extraction balloon, retrieval basket, and mechanical lithotripsy. After removal of stones from the bile duct, an occlusion cholangiogram is usually performed to confirm complete bile duct clearance. However, cholangiogram can miss residual stones in 11- 30% of cases - especially in the setting of a dilated bile duct, large stones, severe pneumobilia, juxtapapillary diverticulum, primary sclerosing cholangitis, and after lithotripsy (mechanical, electrohydraulic, or laser). The approach to patients with choledocholithiasis requires careful attention because missed bile duct stones can cause recurrent biliary symptoms, pancreatitis, cholangitis, and has significant cost implication with the need for repeat imaging and/or procedures.
