Fifth follow up ERCP for post cholecystectomy biliary stricture.

This was this 40 year old lady's fifth ERCP. Somehow her stricture didn't seem to respond to conventional methods. This time around we removed the two stents that were placed in her last visit http://ercp365.blogspot.com/2014/02/fourth-follow-up-ercp-for-post.html (A). Contrast injection showed the strictured area (B: Red arrow) and dilated biliary channels proximal to the stricture (B: White arrow). A 10 French plastic stent of 12 cm length was placed first (C: White arrows), crossing the affected area (C: Red arrowhead). This was followed by a longer 15 cm plastic stent, also of 10 French diameter (D: Blue arrows. White arrows mark the first stent).
