BACKGROUND: Although radiopaque pancreatic duct stones can be targeted by extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy (ESWL) and extracted by ERCP, large and radiolucent stones remain a therapeutic challenge.
OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the technical success and safety of endoscopic balloon sphincter dilation technique (sphincteroplasty) for extraction of large radiolucent pancreatic duct stones.
DESIGN: Case series.
SETTING: Tertiary referral center.
PATIENTS: Four symptomatic patients with large (> or =1 cm) radiolucent stones occluding the main pancreatic duct that could not be retrieved by standard endoscopic maneuvers.
INTERVENTIONS: Pancreatic sphincterotomy followed by balloon dilation of the pancreatic orifice to aid retrieval of large radiolucent stones occluding the main pancreatic duct.
MAIN OUTCOME MEASUREMENTS: Technical success and safety of the balloon dilation (sphincteroplasty) technique. Technical success was defined as the ability to achieve pancreatic duct clearance in 1 endoscopic encounter. Complications were assessed according to consensus criteria.
RESULTS: The procedure was technically successful in all 4 patients. Pancreatic duct clearance was achieved in all 4 patients in 1 endoscopy session with complete symptom relief at 12-month follow-up. Mild post-ERCP pancreatitis developed in 1 patient, and minor bleeding developed in another patient; both were managed conservatively.
LIMITATION: Small number of patients.
CONCLUSIONS: Endoscopic balloon dilation of the pancreatic orifice after sphincterotomy is a safe technique that facilitates the removal of large radiolucent stones from the main pancreatic duct in 1 endoscopic session. More studies with larger numbers of patients are required before this technique can be adopted routinely as a treatment alternative for patients with large radiolucent pancreatic duct stones.
