Biliary and pancreatic stents are tubular devices made of plastic or metal used primarily to establish patency of an obstructed bile or pancreatic duct. Stents may also be used to treat biliary/pancreatic leaks or to prevent post-ERCP pancreatitis. This report is an update of the technical con-siderations of available stents including ...
Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) is an invasive procedure used for the diagnosis and treatment of obstruction in the biliary system. With ERCP, a camera-equipped device is placed into the mouth and advanced for visualization of the bile ducts, gallbladder, pancreas, or liver.Often, this procedure is used for …
Due to the higher risk of failure and complications associated with mechanical lithotripsy, it is used less frequently than biliary stone lithotripsy. 25 Stone extraction balloons have shown to be safer because they can be deflated and usually easily extracted if they are trapped. 26 Sharp edges of the pancreatic stones can make …
Endoscopic removal of PDSs can be difficult due to there being many stones, their hardness and the impacting nature underlying duct stricture.18,29 Moreover, the complication rate of pancreatic mechanical lithotripsy is 3-fold higher than biliary mechanical lithotripsy.30 Most complications result from trapped or broken baskets due …
Extraction of common and intrahepatic bile duct stones is generally performed endoscopically. However, stone extraction in patients with surgically altered anatomy (SAA) is sometimes difficult. 1, 2 One reason is that limited devices are available for balloon enteroscopy owing to the length and size of the working channel. A novel …
The main objectives of endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) are to gain access to the biliary system or the pancreatic duct via the major duodenal papilla in the second portion of the duodenum, to obtain fluoroscopic images of either the biliary tree or the pancreatic duct after injection of a radiopaque contrast …

DISTINGUISHING BILIARY FROM OTHER FORMS OF ACUTE PANCREATITIS. The diagnosis of gallstone pancreatitis should be suspected if the patient has a prior history of biliary colic.[20,21] Although gallstone pancreatitis is the most common cause of pancreatitis, other etiologies must be considered, prior to initiating …
Question: During an ERCP procedure, the surgeon removed three stones.How should we code this case? Codify Subscriber. Answer: The best code choice for the work you described is 43264 (Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography [ERCP]; with removal of calculi/debris from biliary/pancreatic duct[s]). ERCP is a …
The groups were further subdivided into one device group and a multiple-device group. 104 cases achieved complete stone removal by only using a balloon, and 88 cases had complete stone removal by only using a basket catheter. 5/104 had pancreatitis in the balloon only group compared with 3/88 in the basket only group …
Core tip: Biliary endoscopic sphincterotomy (EST) is an essential procedure of the endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) for the treatment and palliation of a wide spectrum of biliary and papillary diseases. It has some contraindications and complications. The physicians who interested in ERCP must learn …
1.1 Indications of Mechanical Lithotripsy. The endoscopic methods for the removal of common bile duct (CBD) stones have been well established. They involve extraction using various devices after endoscopic papillary balloon dilatation (EPBD) [] or endoscopic sphincterotomy (EST) [2, 3].Recently, the success rate for the removal of …
A retrospective analysis of over 100 patients showed a success rate of 9% with the use of Dormia basket. 12 In a large multicenter study the complication rate with mechanical lithotripsy was unacceptably high, thrice that when compared to biliary stone extraction. 13 ERCP directed lithotripsy techniques are far less successful and often …
