Fluoroscopically guided laser lithotripsy versus extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy for retained bile duct stones: a prospective randomised study.

Abstract: Background and aims-To compare extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy (ESWL) and laser induced shock wave lithotripsy (LISL) of retained bile duct stones to stone free rate, number of therapeutic sessions, and costs. Patients-Thirty four patients were randomly assigned to either ESWL or LISL therapy. The main reasons for failure of standard endoscopy were due to stone impaction (n=12), biliary stricture (n=8), or large stone diameter (n=14 (Gut 1997; 40: 678-682)

“…CBD stone fragmentation rates of 71% to 95% have been reported with ESWL, 121,125,[130][131][132] leading to final ductal clearance rates of 70% to 90%. 121,125,[130][131][132][133][134][135] Most commonly, between 1 and 3 sessions are needed for effective fragmentation, and usually ERC is undertaken within a few days after ESWL to sweep fragments from the duct.…”

Complications have been reported in 10% to 35% of patients undergoing ESWL for choledocholithiasis, including cholangitis, hemobilia, hematuria, and transient arrhythmias.…”
