Prospective Evaluation of the Covered Self-expandable Metal Stents (CSEMS) for Incomplete Biliary Stone Clearance

NCT01475864 · Status: WITHDRAWN · Type: OBSERVATIONAL

Last updated 2013-06-27

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

The current standard of care for bile duct stone are endoscopic sphincterotomy and stone extraction. Placement of plastic stents is an option for incomplete biliary stone clearance. This study will use the CSEMS in patients with complex biliary stones who failed stone extraction as they have the advantage of large stent diameter. CSEMS may offer a temporizing measure that allows more successful subsequent stone clearance. However, their use in benign condition has been limited especially for biliary stone removal. The purpose of this study is to determine the feasibility, safety, easy removability, stent-stone formation rate, and migration rate of CSEMS for complex biliary stones.

Conditions

  • Choledocholithiasis

Interventions

PROCEDURE

ERCP with metal stent

ERCP will be used so that a metal stent can be placed to facilitate the removal of the biliary stone
