Endoscopic Management of Complex Biliary Stone Disease
2019, Gastrointestinal Endoscopy Clinics of North AmericaCitation Excerpt :The benefits of ML are that it is widely available, it is relatively inexpensive, and it is effective. The success rates of complete stone clearance at index ERCP for ML range from 52% to 84%.20–25 However, with multiple, successive procedures (up to 3 ERCPs), the cumulative success rate reaches 90% to 98%.20,21,23
Biliary and pancreatic lithotripsy devices
2018, VideoGIECitation Excerpt :ESWL is used for the same indications and rarely as an adjunctive or primary therapy for gallbladder stones. Several large case series have demonstrated that mechanical lithotripsy (ML) leads to complete bile duct clearance in about 80% to 90% of patients; however, 20% to 30% of patients require more than 1 procedure.11,14-24 ML is less likely to be successful with larger and impacted stones.21,24
Balloon Dilation of the Native and Postsphincterotomy Papilla
2018, ERCP, Third EditionAcute biliary conditions
2013, Best Practice and Research: Clinical GastroenterologyCitation Excerpt :Stone fragmentation prior to removal may still be required. Mechanical lithotripsy is the most popular method of stone fragmentation, although intraductal electrohydraulic or laser lithotripsy and extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy are other options [25–28]. Large diameter endoscopic balloon dilatation (EBD) immediately after ES has reduced the need for lithotripsy techniques in most patients.
