Highlight Kawakami and colleagues reported a case of complete clearance of intrahepatic bile duct stones via endoscopic ultrasonography-guided hepaticogastrostomy (EUS-HGS) confirmed under direct antegrade peroral transluminal video cholangioscopy (POTVCS). EUS-guided extraction is applicable in selected patients after failed transpapillary extraction. Moreover, POTVCS via the EUS-HGS route is effective for confirming complete clearance.
亮点 川上及其同事报告了1例通过内镜超声引导下肝胃吻合术(EUS-HGS)完全清除肝内胆管结石的病例,该病例经顺行性经口胆道镜直视检查(POTVCS)证实。对于经乳头取石失败的特定患者,EUS引导下取石是可行的。此外,经EUS-HGS途径的POTVCS对于确认结石完全清除有效。
