Clinical Trial Summary

Compare endoscopic papillary balloon dilatation vs. endoscopic sphincterotomy for bile duct stones in:

- when sphincterotomy is difficult (periampullary diverticulum, prior sphincterotomy or Billroth II anastomosis)

- when there is distal CBD tapering.


Clinical Trial Description

Endoscopic papillary balloon dilatation is an alternative to endoscopic sphincterotomy for treating bile duct stones:

- easier and as effective. But...

- a higher risk of pancreatitis.

Conditions including periampullary diverticulum, prior EST, Billroth-II anastomosis, or distal CBD tapering pose difficulty in EST and lithotripsy with increased risk of complications.

Whether EPBD or EST is superior in efficacy or safety under such circumstances is not clear. ;
