“…Stenting of biliary strictures is associated with haemobilia in up to 10 per cent of procedures 22,130,131 and may be dramatic 132 . Lithotripsy, whether endoscopic or extracorporal, is associated with an incidence of haemobilia of up to 10 per cent 37,93,133,134 . Perhaps surprisingly, the reported incidence of haemobilia does not necessarily rise when lithotripsy is combined with stenting for hepatolithiasis 24,135 .…”

“…Extracorporeal shock-wave lithotripsy, once limited to gallblad- 26,27 Electrohydraulic lithotripsy (using high-pressure shock waves generated by a highvoltage discharge), has been used in conjunction with endoscopic techniques to fragment biliary calculi. 28 Pulsed-dye laser lithotripsy is a promising new adjunct for the endoscopic removal of biliary calculi too large for conventional lithotripsy techniques.…”

“…Calcium content (nidus or rim) is a minor determinant compared with stone volume.5 Exceeding the size and composition recommendations often contributes to the relatively high (46%) retreatment rates associated with biliary ESWL. 28,32 Commonly encountered complications of biliary ESWL include biliary colic (23%), pancreatitis {1%), petechiae, and cardiac arrhythmia.28-3°,33 Often the lithotripter's firing sequence is controlled by an ECG signal (which triggers the device during the refractory period of the cardiac cycle) to decrease the risk of cardiac arrhythmias.…”
