Endoscopic Ultrasound-Directed Transgastric Endoscopic Retrograde Cholangiopancreatography for Removal of Cystic Duct Coils: A Novel Application of an Emerging Technique.
2021
The altered anatomy of patients after Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) surgery creates technical challenges for endoscopic and surgical treatment of gallstones. We present a unique case of a post-RYGB patient with complicated gallbladder surgery requiring coiling and embolization of the cystic duct for bile leak. The cystic duct coils migrated out into the bile duct forming a nidus for infection and biliary obstruction, which was resolved using the novel endoscopic ultrasound-directed transgastric routine endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography technique, with successful transpapillary removal of cystic duct coils in RYGB anatomy.
