5. Study Description

Brief Summary
To assess the feasibility and success of endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) directed biliary stone removal without use of fluoroscopy. Success for this study will be defined as the successful removal of all stones from the bile duct without the use of fluoroscopy. Fluoroscopy will only be used at the end of a presumed successful procedure to confirm that all stones are removed.

8. Arms, Groups, and Interventions

Arm Title
Patients with common bile duct stones.
Arm Type
Experimental
Arm Description
Common bile duct stone removal without fluoroscopy
Intervention Type
Procedure
Intervention Name(s)
Common bile duct stone removal without fluoroscopy.
Intervention Description
ERCP stone extraction technique without fluoroscopy involves: (1) catheter or catheter with wire access into the bile duct, (2) confirmation of biliary access with catheter aspiration of bile, (3) performance of endoscopic biliary sphincterotomy or balloon dilation to widen the bile duct opening to permit stone removal, (4) stone removal - number of stones seen on EUS should match the number removed.
Primary Outcome Measure Information:
Title
Successful removal of all stones from the bile duct without the use of fluoroscopy.
Time Frame
Up to 24 hours.
