Endoscopic large-balloon dilation alone versus endoscopic sphincterotomy plus large-balloon dilation for the treatment of large bile duct stones
… sphincterotomy (EST) combined with large-balloon dilation (LBD) has been proposed as an alternative to manage large bile duct stones. However, recent reports indicate that LBD without EST may be safe and effective in this setting. One hundred thirty-one patients with large common bile duct …

Do balloons larger than 15 mm in size increase the risk of adverse events in endoscopic large balloon dilation?
Endoscopic large balloon dilation (EPLBD) using large-diameter balloons (12-20 mm) was introduced to facilitate the removal of large bile duct stones and minimize the need for endoscopic mechanical lithotripsy (EML). Much recent literature has suggested EPLBD is safe and effective for extraction of …
