Core Tip	Persistent high-output cystic duct stump leaks that fail conventional endoscopic stenting pose a significant therapeutic challenge, particularly in elderly patients with multiple comorbidities. For refractory biliary leaks, Spyglass cholangioscopy and percutaneous access enable precise targeting of the leak site. Utilizing a combination of coils and cyanoacrylate glue can achieve complete cessation of high-output drainage when multiple plastic stents have failed, offering a successful solution within the biliary tree and an alternative to high-risk revisional surgery.
