Recurrent Extrahepatic Bile Duct Stones as a Late Complication of ERCP in Patients With Coexisting Intra- and Extrahepatic Bile Duct Stones

Air Force Military Medical University, China104 enrolled

Overview

The management of coexisting intrahepatic bile duct (IBD) and extrahepatic bile duct (EBD) stones is complicated and requires a multidisciplinary approach. The long-term clinical outcomes of patients initially treated with endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) EBD stone extraction remain unclear. Investigators conducted a retrospective study of patients with coexisting IBD and EBD to investigate the long-term impact of ERCP on the incidence of recurrent EBD stones and to identify risk factors of recurrence.
