“…Similarly, a study published in 2022 demonstrated higher success rates with balloon catheters compared to basket catheters regarding ≤10 mm stone extraction [42]. Nevertheless, retrieval baskets are evolving and in 2023 an experimental study analyzed seven different types of basket catheters according to their radial and axial force measurements, in order to review their mechanical properties and promote basket development in the future [43]. Inoue et al displayed that helical eight-wire baskets with smaller interwire spaces at the tip are fundamental when extracting corner pocket stones, and the addition of rotation enhances the overall success [43].…”

Choledocholithiasis is one of the most common indications for endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) in daily practice. Although the majority of stones are small and can be easily removed in a single endoscopy session, approximately 10–15% of patients have complex biliary stones, requiring additional procedures for an optimum clinical outcome. A plethora of endoscopic methods is available for the removal of difficult biliary stones, including papillary large balloon dilation, mechanical lithotripsy, and electrohydraulic and laser lithotripsy. In-depth knowledge of these techniques and the emerging literature on them is required to yield the most optimal therapeutic effects. This narrative review aims to describe the definition of difficult bile duct stones based on certain characteristics and streamline their endoscopic retrieval using various modalities to achieve higher clearance rates.
