Abstract:
Percutaneous transhepatic intervention for removal of common bile duct stones is introduced as a secondary choice of treatment in the high-risk patient. Through a percutaneous transhepatic biliary drainage catheter, a Dormia basket was inserted and the stone was entraped. Then the stone was crushed and fragments were passed spontaneously to the duodenum through the Ampulla of Vater. We experienced one case of successful treatment of a common bile duct stone using percutaneous transhepatic insertion of the Dormia basket.
