| Core Tip |
Endoscopic papillary large balloon dilation is increasingly being used in treating difficult bile duct stones, since it is faster and less laborious than mechanical lithotripsy, with comparable results in terms of safety and effectiveness. However, this method is not recommended in patients with nondilated distal ducts, due to a higher complication rate, especially perforation. This study evaluated a large cohort of difficult duct stones patients submitted to large balloon dilation and found that patients with dilated and nondilated distal ducts had similar complication rates. This study suggests that large balloon dilation may be feasible in the latter group of patients. |
