Laser lithotripsy to treat basket impaction during mechanical lithotripsy of a pancreatic duct stone.

چکیده
CONTEXT Though uncommon, pancreatic duct stones can cause significant discomfort and morbidity. Endoscopic removal of pancreatic stones may decrease intraductal pressure by augmenting ductal drainage. Endoscopy is shown to be most effective when used early in the course of the disease. Endoscopic methods such as mechanical lithotripsy are often successful in removing the majority of pancreatic stones. However, its complication rate is quite high, with basket malfunction being the one most frequently encountered. CASE REPORT We report a case of a patient with idiopathic chronic calcific pancreatitis presenting with symptomatic pancreatic duct stones. During one attempt of basket mechanical lithotripsy, the basket wires fractured. The basket and stone thus became entrapped in the patient's pancreatic duct. Holmium laser lithotripsy was applied via the mother-baby system of the endoscope. The stone was crushed, and the basket and stone fragments were able to be removed. CONCLUSIONS To our knowledge, this is the first time laser lithotripsy has been employed to relieve basket impaction during attempted mechanical lithotripsy of a pancreatic duct stone. This method may be considered as a rescue technique by endoscopists encountering basket impaction in the future.

Nonsurgical management of an impacted mechanical lithotriptor with fractured traction wires: endoscopic intracorporeal electrohydraulic shock wave lithotripsy followed by extra-endoscopic mechanical lithotripsy.
In a patient with a mid-common bile duct stone, the traction wires of a mechanical lithotriptor snapped, resulting in lithotriptor basket impaction. Simultaneous occurrence of these two potential complications of endoscopic stone extraction is very rarely reported. Extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy failed to fragment the stone entrapped within the impacted basket. Endoscopic intracorporeal ...
متن کاملRescue lithotripsy to treat basket impaction.
The complications of mechanical lithotripsy include a trapped basket surrounding the stone, fracture of the basket wires or the main operation wire, malfunction of the mechanical lithotriptor crank handle, and ductal injury [1,2]. Impaction of a basket with a captured stone inside occurs occasionally not only during mechanical lithotripsy but also during removal of small stones with non-lithotr...

The treatment of bile duct stones has evolved from surgery to endoscopic management, which has a success rate of 90% [1]. Impaction of the lithotripsy basket during endoscopic removal of a common bile duct (CBD) stones is seen in up to 5.9% of the cases [2,3] and represents one of the most feared complications; as it usually results in open surgical intervention. We report our experience with a...

Background/study aims Laser lithotripsy can effectively fragment complicated biliary stones, but current cholangioscopes are limited by fragility, restricted mobility or moderate visual resolution. The efficacy and safety of a new digital single-operator peroral cholangioscope to guide laser lithotripsy were evaluated. Patients and methods In this prospective single-center series, consecutive p...
