This 25 year old gentleman had undergone a previous ERCP for an anastomotic biliary stricture. http://ercp365.blogspot.com/2015/04/post-liver-transplant-anastomotic.html. He had developed jaundice with pruritus and fever. His ultrasound showed a blocked stent. On ERCP, the biliary and pancreatic duct stents were visible (A: Black arrow-biliary stent, white arrow-pancreatic stent). Both were removed (B: Black and white stents showing the pancreatic and biliary stents, respectively). Contrast injection identified the site of stricture (C: Black arrow). A 40mm long and 6mm wide (at maximum inflation ) stricture dilatation balloon was positioned across the site (D: Black arrow) and dilated successively above, at and below the site of stricture (E1, E2 & E3: White arrows show the inflated balloon above the stricture site, at the stricture site and below the stricture site, respectively). No stent was passed this time and the patient will be followed up in our outpatient clinic.
I am a gastroenterologist. This is a blog of the ERCPs and related endoscopic procedures carried out at my department. Dr Adnan Salim.
