Project description:IntroductionWe report the first case of a choledocholithiasis migrating into the main pancreatic duct (MPD) due to catheter manipulation during endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP).Case presentationA 57-year-old woman complaining of vomiting was diagnosed with acute cholangitis and pancreatitis due to choledocholithiasis. During ERCP, the stone migrated from the papilla into the MPD due to the pushing motion of the catheter. However, the ERCP session was completed after biliary sphincterotomy without intervention in the MPD because the migration was not noticed. The migrated stone became apparent on computed tomography the following day. The second ERCP revealed the stone measuring 5 mm in the MPD. After pancreatic sphincterotomy, a pancreatic stent was placed, which improved the obstructive pancreatitis.ConclusionEndoscopists performing ERCP should be aware of this rare but serious complication.

Project description:To investigate the feasibility of initial endoscopic common bile duct (CBD) stone removal in patients with acute cholangitis (AC).A single-center, retrospective study was conducted between April 2013 and December 2014 and was approved by the Medical Ethics Committee at our institution. Written informed consent was obtained from each patient prior to the procedure. The cohort comprised 31 AC patients with CBD stones who underwent endoscopic biliary drainage (EBD) for naïve papilla within 48 h after AC onset. We retrospectively divided the participants into two groups: 19 patients with initial endoscopic CBD stone removal (initial group) and 12 patients with delayed endoscopic CBD stone removal (delayed group). We evaluated the feasibility of initial endoscopic CBD stone removal in patients with AC.We observed no significant differences between the groups regarding patient characteristics. According to the assessments based on the Tokyo Guidelines, the AC severity of patients with initial endoscopic CBD stone removal was mild to moderate. The use of antithrombotic agents before EBD was less frequent in the initial group than in the delayed group (11% vs 58%, respectively; P = 0.004). All the patients underwent successful endoscopic CBD stone removal and adverse events did not differ significantly between the groups. The number of endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography procedures was significantly lower in the initial group than in the delayed group [median (interquartile range) 1 (1-1) vs 2 (2-2), respectively; P < 0.001]. The length of hospital stay was significantly shorter for the initial group than for the delayed group [10 (9-15) vs 17 (14-20), respectively; P = 0.010].Initial endoscopic CBD stone removal in patients with AC may be feasible when AC severity and the use of antithrombotic agents are carefully considered.

Project description:IntroductionCommon bile duct (CBD) stones are a health concern for 10-20% of individuals with symptomatic gallstones, leading to health complications and placing a burden on healthcare systems. This study was initiated to investigate the changes in microbiome compositions and the metabolic signature associated with CBD stones. The research approach integrated taxonomic and functional data with metabolomics data, complemented by in vivo experiments.MethodsIn a single tertiary healthcare institution, a total of 25 patients were enrolled who had undergone endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) between February 2019 and January 2021. We harvested DNA from bile samples acquired from these individuals. The amplification of the bacterial 16S rRNA gene V3-V4 region was conducted through polymerase chain reaction (PCR), followed by sequencing. We utilized QIIME2 for a comprehensive data analysis. Furthermore, we performed a metabolomic analysis of the bile samples using nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy. For the assessment of functional gene enrichment, we employed MetaboAnalyst 5.0. Lastly, we executed in vivo experiments on C57BL/6 mice and undertook histological examinations of tissue samples.ResultsOut of the 25 study subjects, 17 underwent ERCP due to CBD stones (the CBD stone group), while the remaining 8 had the procedure for different reasons (the non-CBD stone group). An alpha diversity analysis showed a significantly greater microbial diversity in the bile samples of the non-CBD stone group (p < 0.01), and a beta diversity analysis confirmed the greater microbial compositional abundance in the gut microbiomes in this group (p = 0.01). A taxonomic analysis revealed that the abundances of Enterococcaceae and Enterococcus were higher in the bile microbiomes of the CBD stone group. A metabolic profile analysis showed that the acetate, formate, and asparagine levels were higher in the CBD stone group. A pathway enrichment analysis showed the metabolic pathways (Arginine and Proline Metabolism, Aspartate Metabolism, Glycine, and Serine Metabolism, and Ammonia Recycling pathways) that were associated with these differences. Preclinical experiments demonstrated systemic inflammation and extracellular trap formation in the CBD stone group.ConclusionsOur study highlights the importance of biliary dysbiosis and bile metabolites, specifically acetate and formate, in CBD stone development and progression. These findings have implications for the development of diagnostic and therapeutic strategies using microbiomes for CBD stones.

Project description:BACKGROUND:Choledocholithiasis is an endemic condition in the world. Although rare, foreign body migration with biliary complications needs to be considered in the differential diagnosis for patients presenting with typical symptoms even many years after cholecystectomy, EPCP, war-wound, foreign body ingestion or any other particular history before. It is of great clinical value as the present review may offer some help when dealing with choledocholithiasis caused by foreign bodies. CASE PRESENTATION:We reported a case of choledocholithiasis caused by fishbone from choledochoduodenal anastomosis regurgitation. Moreover, we showed up all the instances of choledocholithiasis caused by foreign bodies published until June 2018 and wrote the world's first literature review of foreign bodies in the bile duct of 144 cases. The findings from this case suggest that the migration of fishbone can cause various consequences, one of these, as we reported here, is as a core of gallstone and a cause of choledocholithiasis. CONCLUSION:The literature review declared the choledocholithiasis caused by foreign bodies prefer the wrinkly and mainly comes from three parts: postoperative complications, foreign body ingestion, and post-war complications such as bullet injury and shrapnel wound. The Jonckheere-Terpstra test indicated the ERCP was currently the treatment of choice. It is a very singular case of choledocholithiasis caused by fishbone, and the present review is the first one concerning choledocholithiasis caused by foreign bodies all over the world.

Project description:BackgroundThe common bile duct (CBD) stones passage in patients with cholangitis was unclear.This study aimed to evaluate the effect on CBD stone sizes and predicting factors on spontaneous passage in patients with cholangitis.MethodThe medical records of cholangitis at Her Royal Highness Princess Maha Chakri Sirindhorn Medical Center, Srinakharinwirot University from January 2014 to December 2019 were retrospectively reviewed. Patients with acute cholangitis from CBD stones underwent ERCP in the same admission were enrolled.ResultOf the 96 patients, The rate of spontaneous passage of CBD stones was 19.8%. By univariate analysis, factors significantly associated with a predictor of spontaneous CBD stone passage in patient with cholangitis were single CBD stone (p = 0.001), CBD stone diameter < 5 mm (p < 0.001), and clinical symptom improved before ERCP procedure (p = 0.004). Multivariate logistic regression analyses also revealed that these three factors were significantly associated with spontaneous passage. From ROC curve analysis, stone size of less than 4.85 mm was more likely to pass spontaneously with acceptable sensitivity (81.8%) and specificity (78.9%).ConclusionsCBD stone diameter < 5 mm, single CBD stone and improved clinical symptom before ERCP procedure are key predictors of spontaneous CBD stone passage in cholangitis.
