Papillary Balloon Dilation Versus Intraductal Lithotripsy

Status unconfirmed · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Choledocholithiasis

In brief

Our aim is to compare the efficacy, safety, procedural time required, and costs of a strategy initially employing cholangioscopy guided intraductal lithotripsy (laser/electrohydraulic lithtripsy (EHL)) versus a strategy initially using papillary dilation for removal of large bile duct stones.
