Percutaneous transhepatic papillary ballooning and extraction for common bile duct stones: a single-center experience.

ABSTRACT:

Background

At present, some common bile duct stones (CBDSs) cannot be removed by conventional endoscopic treatment. Percutaneous transhepatic papillary ballooning and extraction (PTPBE) is a promising treatment for CBDSs. This study aimed to evaluate the feasibility and efficacy of PTPBE for removing CBDSs.

Methods

From April 2013 to April 2021, 29 patients with CBDSs underwent PTPBE at The First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University; their clinical data were retrospectively analyzed. The technical success, clinical success, procedure time, radiation dose, 1-year CBDSs recurrence rate, and incidence of early/late complications were recorded, and white blood cell (WBC) counts and alanine aminotransferase (ALT), C-reactive protein (CRP), total bilirubin (TBIL), and carbo
