1 Original Article / Biliary Success rate and complications of endoscopic extraction of common bile duct stones over 2 cm in diameter Xin-Jian Wan, Zheng-Jie Xu, Feng Zhu and Lei Li Shanghai, China BACKGROUND: Clinically, common bile duct (CBD) stones are difficult to remove by endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP). To evaluate this observation, the rates of successful clearance of CBD stones and complications were compared between ERCP extraction of CBD stones of >2 cm and in diameter. METHODS: All patients who had undergone endoscopic extraction of CBD stones at the Endoscopy Center of Shanghai First People's Hospital from May 2004 to May 2008 were reviewed. Patients with CBD stones of in diameter were enrolled in the. Two matched controls with CBD stones of in diameter were selected for each enrolled patient ( ). Patient characteristics, success rates, and complications during and after ERCP were compared. RESULTS: Seventy-two patients constituted the and 144 patients were in the. No significant differences were found in the patient characteristics, except for stone size and CBD diameter. Both the overall success rate and the success rate in the first ERCP session were lower in the (77.8% and 58.3%, respectively) than in the (91.7% and 83.3%, P<0.01). During ERCP, the incidence of hypoxemia (30.6%) and hemorrhaging papillae (18.1%) in the was higher than in the (13.2% and 6.3%, P<0.05). After ERCP, the rates of delayed papillae hemorrhage (13.9%), hyperamylasemia (23.6%), acute pancreatitis (8.3%) and biliary infection (18.1%) were higher in the than in the <2 cm (3.5%, 11.1%, 2.1%, and 2.8%, respectively, P<0.05). CONCLUSION: The success rate of endoscopic extraction of CBD stones of in diameter was lower but the complication rate was higher than that of stones of in diameter.

KEY WORDS: endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography; common bile duct diseases; gallstone Introduction Endoscopic treatment is now the first-line management option for common bile duct (CBD) stones. Endoscopic sphincterotomy (EST), first described in 1974, is the most frequently used endoscopic technique for clearance of stones from the bile duct. At present, the mainstream stone removal procedure is to combine EST with the Dormia basket or balloon catheter. Several studies have shown that 90% of CBD stones are effectively treated using this method. [1-7] However, as stone size increases, the degree of difficulty in using this technique increases. According to our clinical experience, CBD stones of in diameter are difficult to remove by endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP). To further evaluate this observation, in this retrospective study the rates of successful clearance of CBD stones and complications were compared between ERCP extraction of stones of and in diameter at an endoscopy center with a workload of >800 ERCPs/year. Methods Patients and data collection In this retrospective study, we searched the gastrointestinal endoscopy database for all patients who had undergone endoscopic CBD stone extraction at the Endoscopy Center of Shanghai First People's Hospital from May 2004 to May All patients with CBD stones of in diameter were enrolled ( ). Two matched controls from the same database with CBD stones of in diameter ( ) were selected for Hepatobiliary Pancreat Dis Int,Vol 10,No 4 August 15,
2 Hepatobiliary & Pancreatic Diseases International each enrolled patient. The two matched controls and their enrolled patients were similar in age and gender. All of the ERCP procedures in the study were conducted by one experienced endoscopist (Wan XJ; >2500 career ERCPs, with a workload of >300 ERCPs/year), and endoscopic stone extraction was routinely preceded by EST. Endoscopic procedure and instruments Intravenous sedatives (pethidine and diazepam) were administered prior to the ERCP procedure in all patients. The size, location, and number of stones and diameter of the CBD were obtained by radiologic examination. The size (maximum transverse diameter) of the stone and CBD was measured after correction for magnification using the known diameter of an endoscope insertion tube and its apparent diameter on radiograph. EST then was conducted, and the length of incision was tailored to the size of the stone. The stone was removed with a Dormia basket, balloon-tip catheter, or mechanical lithotripter. The extraction procedure was repeated until no stones were found fluoroscopically. If residual small stones that could not be identified on radiographs were suspected, a nasobiliary drain was placed temporarily. ERCP with a further attempt at CBD clearance was performed in a later session within 3 to 7 days. The nasobiliary drain was also used in patients with cholangitis (i.e., biliary infection characterized by fever, upper abdominal pain, white blood cell elevation, and purulent bile). If the stone could not be extracted completely within 1 hour and/or severe edema or bleeding of papillae (i.e., hemorrhaging papillae) and/ or other complications occurred, the procedure was ended and a nasobiliary drain was placed. In these cases, another extraction session was considered and scheduled within 3 to 7 days. If the stone could not be broken and extracted, a nasobiliary drain was placed and the patient was prepared for surgery (open exploration of the CBD) unless he/she had any contraindication for surgery. For patients who could not undergo surgery, stents were placed immediately to palliate symptoms. Endoscopes and instruments used included the following: Olympus JF-V260 and Olympus TJF-240 duodenoscopes; ERCP catheter (PR-40, Olympus, Japan); guide wire (Microvisive, 5619, USA); Dormia basket (BML- 2Q, Olympus); balloon-tip catheter (B7-2Q, Olympus); UES-20 high frequency electronic power; mechanical lithotripter (BML-4Q, Olympus) and emergency mechanical lithotripter (BML-110A-1, Olympus); and plastic stents and nasobiliary drains (Olympus). Evaluation of success and complications The complete removal of all stones was defined as success. Overall success included success in the first and other sessions combined. Failure was defined as failure of stone extraction and cessation of the procedure due to severe complications. For these patients, surgery was performed or a stent was placed to palliate symptoms. Perforation, hemorrhage of papillae, hypoxemia and cardiac dysrhythmia were monitored during the ERCP procedure. After ERCP, complications such as delayed hemorrhage of papillae, hyperamylasemia, acute pancreatitis, biliary infection, and sepsis (low blood pressure and a blood culture positive for bacteria) were noted. Statistical analysis Data were put into Microsoft Excel 2003 and converted into SPSS 13.0 format for analysis. Categorical data were presented as frequencies (percentages) and analyzed using the chi-square test or Fisher's exact test. Quantitative data were summarized by the mean±sd and analyzed using Student's t test. All tests were two-sided and a of <0.05 was considered statistically significant. Results Patient characteristics From May 2004 to May 2008, a total of 72 consecutive patients with diameter CBD stones underwent therapeutic ERCP in our center; 144 patients with diameter CBD stones were selected as matched controls from the same database.

4 Hepatobiliary & Pancreatic Diseases International Discussion In the present study, the success rate of endoscopic stone extraction for diameter CBD stones was lower and its complication rates were higher than those of the same treatment for stones. In this study, the overall clearance rate of stones was 77.8%, which was significantly lower than that (91.7%) of <2 cm stones. Furthermore, the larger the stones, the more treatment sessions were needed. The success rate of the first ERCP session of the was only 58.3%, whereas that of the was 83.3%. Researchers have long believed that large stone size is a major factor accounting for failure of endoscopic extraction. The importance of size for successful endoscopic extraction of CBD stones was first analyzed in One hundred patients with CBD stones received ERCP, and the success of the procedure differed significantly when the size was analyzed (the median size for successful clearance was 1 cm and for unsuccessful clearance was 1.8 cm, P<0.001). Successful removal occurred in all patients with stones <1.0 cm in diameter, but removal was successful in only 12% of patients with stones >1.5 cm. [8] Several options are available for large stones that cannot be removed directly through a basket or balloon catheter; they may be crushed using simple mechanical lithotripsy. In addition, the following procedures may be used to treat large bile duct stones: electrohydraulic lithotripsy, extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy, and laser therapy. However, these procedures require specialized and costly equipment. Currently, mechanical lithotripsy is the most commonly used technique for large stones. The reported success rate of fragmentation by basket mechanical lithotripsy ranges from 82% to 100%. [1-7] Continuing improvements in the design and construction materials make mechanical lithotripsy easier to use and more effective, and the success rate of large stone removal has greatly increased. In a prospective randomized controlled trial reported by Heo, 29 out of 30 patients (96.7%) had complete CBD clearance after lithotripsy of large stones (>1.5 cm). [9] Chang et al [10] reported that of 304 patients with CBD stones >1.5 cm diameter, 272 had stones successfully removed by mechanical lithotripsy (success rate about 90%). In 2007, Kim et al [11] analyzed 102 patients undergoing endoscopic extraction and found that stone diameter >1.5 cm was not an independent contributor to technical difficulty. However, the successful removal rates of CBD stones of in diameter are not very high. Schneider et al [7] reported that in 209 patients undergoing mechanical lithotripsy, the overall success rate was 88%, whereas that of stones of >2.0 cm in diameter was 79%. Similarly, in our study the clearance rate of diameter stones was 77.8%, which was significantly lower than that of stones (91.7%). Furthermore, the larger the stones, the more treatment sessions were needed. These data suggest that CBD stones of in diameter remain a challenge to mechanical lithotripsy. It was also noted that failure of ERCP for CBD stones was significantly associated with previous open operation of the CBD and multiple stones. With the advance of EST, both factors no longer influence endoscopic extraction [1, 2, 9, 11-13] for CBD stones >1.5 cm in diameter. The complication rates of endoscopic extraction for CBD stones of diameter were higher during and after surgery. During the ERCP procedure, the incidence of hypoxemia and hemorrhaging papillae in patients with diameter stones was significantly higher than in patients with stones of in diameter. After the procedure, delayed papillae hemorrhage, hyperamylasemia, acute pancreatitis, and biliary infection in patients with diameter stones were more frequent than in patients with diameter stones. The complication incidence in patients with diameter stones in our study is similar to that in the published data. [14-18] Therefore, we believe that the skill of our endoscopists was not responsible for the higher complication incidence in patients with diameter stones. Clearly, extracting a larger CBD stone requires a larger sphincterotomy, which leads to a higher incidence of perforation and bleeding. The ERCP procedure for large CBD stones is often technically difficult and timeconsuming (as shown in this study), which can increase the risk of hypoxemia, pancreatitis, and biliary infection. For patients whose CBD stones are refractory to endoscopic retrieval, stenting or surgery is the routine [19, 20] Recently, alternative approach. the success rate of stone removal using endoscopic papillary large balloon dilation (EPLBD) was reported to reach 95% with a low complication rate, even for stones of less than 1.5 cm in diameter. [12, 13] EPLBD involves a small sphincterotomy followed by balloon dilation using a mm balloon. EPLBD theoretically combines the advantages of sphincterotomy and balloon dilation by increasing the efficacy of stone extraction while minimizing the complications of both EST and balloon [9, 12, 13] dilation. However, the effectiveness and safety of EPLBD for treating diameter CBD stones has not yet been reported. In terms of surgery, laparoscopic exploration of the CBD with a rigid scope is a new and advantageous procedure which has been replacing open exploration of the CBD. In 2010, Tekin et al [21] reported 406 Hepatobiliary Pancreat Dis Int,Vol 10,No 4 August 15,2011
5 Endoscopic extraction of common bile duct stones that it can achieve high rates of clearance with minimal complications in patients in whom endoscopic removal of CBD stones is unsuccessful. In our study, in the patients with CBD stones who had previous open operation of CBD and multiple stones, the success rate of routine EST was low. In these patients, new techniques of ERCP such as EPLBD or minimally invasive surgery such as laparoscopic exploration of the CBD may be a better choice. In conclusion, we found that the success rate of endoscopic extraction of diameter CBD stones was lower and its complications rates were higher than those of diameter stones. These results may help redefine the definition of "large" CBD stones. If the diameter of the CBD stone is, the patient's condition should be evaluated carefully to select the optimum management strategy. For patients who have had previous open operation of CBD and multiple stones, routine EST may be not the first choice. However, it should be noted that the present study is limited by a small sample size and it is a retrospective study. Further investigations are required to redefine the diameter of "large" CBD stones. Funding: None. Ethical approval: Not needed.
