About

The management of coexisting intrahepatic bile duct (IBD) and extrahepatic bile duct (EBD) stones is complicated and requires a multidisciplinary approach. The long-term clinical outcomes of patients initially treated with endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) EBD stone extraction remain unclear. Investigators conducted a retrospective study of patients with coexisting IBD and EBD to investigate the long-term impact of ERCP on the incidence of recurrent EBD stones and to identify risk factors of recurrence.
