Abstract

Basket impaction of a bile duct stone is a well-known problem occurring during endoscopic transpapillary lithotripsy. Generally, it is resolved by a transoral endotripter. However, even if the endotripter is used, we sometimes encounter failed cases in which the wires break because of the hardness of the stone. Herein, we describe a successful case in which a basket-impacted stone was released by use of transpapillary cholangioscopic electrohydraulic lithotripsy (EHL).
