Cholangioscopy With Electrohydraulic Lithotripsy (EHL) for Post-Cholecystectomy Mirizzi Syndrome
Α 48-year-old man with a history of laparoscopic cholecystectomy presented with right upper quadrant pain and jaundice. Magnetic Resonance Cholangiopancreatography showed a cystic duct stump stone causing proximal dilation of the biliary system, with normal distal common bile duct (CBD) diameter.
Endoscopic Retrograde Cholangiopancreatography confirmed the diagnosis of Mirizzi syndrome. However, removal of the stone with the conventional methods was unfeasible.
Subsequently, a cholangioscope (SpyGlassTM DS system) was advanced into the CBD revealing a stone impacted at the opening of the cystic duct stump. The stone was fragmented into multiple pieces by EHL, allowing complete removal with a balloon-catheter.
