Follow up case of post cholecystectomy biliary leak

This 38 year old lady had previously undergone biliary stunting for a bile leak http://ercp365.blogspot.com/2013/12/and-another-bile-leak-following.html which had occurred following cholecystectomy. We had placed a 10 cm long 10 French plastic stent. We removed the stent (A). The sludge coating prompted us to do a biliary sweep with a stone extraction balloon (B: white arrow shows the papilla with a previous sphincterotomy and the balloon assembly being inserted). The CBD was swept (C: black arrows shows the inflated Ballon in the CBD). Gan occlusion cholangiogram with the balloon inflated at the distal end of the CBD was done (D: black arrow shows the inflated balloon. White arrows delineate the CBD with no leakage). The patient was discharged.
