Percutaneous biliary stone removal using fluoroscopy is an effective treatment for residual bile duct stones, achieving a 92.5% success rate. This minimally invasive approach aids in visualizing stones and treating associated biliary strictures.

Area of Science:

  • Interventional Radiology
  • Gastroenterology
  • Biliary Tract Diseases

Background:

  • Bile duct stones are a prevalent biliary tract disease, particularly in Taiwan.
  • Current treatments include surgery and choledochoscopy.
  • This study reviews 65 cases of postoperative residual stones or cholangitis due to biliary stones.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the efficacy and safety of percutaneous biliary stone removal under fluoroscopy.
  • To assess the role of superselective catheterization and balloon dilation in managing residual stones and biliary strictures.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective review of 65 patients with residual biliary stones.
  • Utilized T-tube or percutaneous transhepatic cholangial drainage tracts for stone removal.

  • Employed superselective catheterization for cholangiography and basket/electrohydraulic lithotripsy, along with balloon dilation for strictures.

    • Main Results:

    • An average of four sessions were required for complete stone removal.
    • 52% of patients needed balloon dilation for biliary strictures.
    • A 7.7% residual stone rate occurred due to technical difficulties; complications included pancreatitis and ductal injury.

    Conclusions:

    • Percutaneous biliary stone removal offers direct visualization of stones and bile duct anatomy.
    • Superselective catheterization and balloon dilation contributed to a high success rate of 92.5%.
    • This technique is beneficial for managing complex residual biliary stones and associated strictures.
