Endoscopic closure of a distal common bile duct perforation caused by papillary dilation with a large-diameter balloon (with video)

Laparoscopic Common Bile Duct Exploration for Retrieval of Impacted Dormia Basket following Endoscopic Retrograde Cholangiopancreatography with Mechanical Failure: Case Report with Literature Review

“…All six were done by the same tertiary centre endoscopist. Given the risk of perforation previously reported following balloon dilatation [24], this highlights the importance of specialist ERCP referral in such cases. Extreme care needs to be taken when using monopolar devices to extend the sphincterotomy in order to deliver an impacted basket, due to the risk of thermal injury caused by heat conduction through exposed basket wires [25].…”

Endoscopic clips for the closure of acute iatrogenic perforations: Where do we stand?

“…Lateral and medial duodenal wall perforations tend to be large in size requiring surgical repair. Endoclip closure has been used in duodenal perforation related to ERCP . Parlak et al reported a case series including four cases with duodenal perforation secondary to ERCP.…”

Large-balloon dilation after sphincterotomy: anatomical and technical issues

“…After a long period of hesitation, there have been several studies of LBD, especially from the Asian countries, demonstrating its safety and efficacy since that time. [3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14] However, there is no consensus with regard to the extent of EST before LBD, the inflation time and limits, and the initial choice of balloon size. Moreover, LBD without prior EST 15 and LBD for impacted baskets 1 are very recent hot topics to the endoscopist.…”
