    Interventional radiologists play a key role in managing biliary duct stones non-surgically. They assist endoscopists and offer percutaneous treatments when endoscopic stone removal is not feasible.

    Area of Science:

    • Medical Imaging
    • Gastroenterology
    • Interventional Radiology

    Background:

    • Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) is a common method for treating biliary duct stones.
    • Challenges in ERCP, such as difficult anatomy or impacted stones, may limit its effectiveness.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To highlight the significant role of interventional radiologists in the non-surgical management of biliary duct stones.
    • To discuss various percutaneous and non-surgical approaches utilized by interventional radiologists for biliary stone removal.

    Main Methods:

    • Review of interventional radiology techniques for biliary stone management.
    • Discussion of collaborative approaches between endoscopists and interventional radiologists.
    • Description of percutaneous stone removal and maintenance of biliary drainage.

    Main Results:

    • Interventional radiology offers crucial assistance when endoscopic sphincterotomy is challenging.
    • Percutaneous treatment by radiologists is an effective alternative when endoscopic stone removal fails.
    • Radiologists can maintain biliary toilet post-surgery for recurrent stone disease.

    Conclusions:

    • Interventional radiologists are essential partners in the multidisciplinary management of biliary duct stones.
    • Non-surgical biliary stone removal via interventional radiology provides valuable therapeutic options.
    • Collaboration between gastroenterologists and interventional radiologists optimizes patient outcomes.
