Brief Summary

ERCP is the primary choice for removal of common bile duct stone (CBDS) currently. However, 4-24% patients underwent recurrence after successful clearance of CBDS. Stone re-formation due to chronic inflammation of biliary duct is generally considered an important cause of CBDS recurrence, which is associated with duodenal-biliary reflux (DBR) after sphincterotomy. Although it was believed that DBR was the important cause of CBDS recurrence, the direct evidence was still lacking. Here we conducted a case control study to investigate the DBR rate in patients with recurrent CBDS after ERCP.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Duodenal-biliary reflux rate

    The proportion of patients with barium reflux into bile duct during the standard barium meal examination.

Eligibility Criteria

Age18 Years - 80 Years
Sexall
Healthy VolunteersNo
Age GroupsAdult (18-64), Older Adult (65+)
Sampling MethodNon-Probability Sample
Study Population

Patients with history of recurrent common bile duct stone (recurrent group) and non-recurrent common bile duct stone (control group) in Xijing Hospital of Digestive Diseases were invited to participate the study. All the patients underwent successful stone removal by ERCP previously. Patients in the control group were matched with the recurrence group by age and gender at 1:1 ratio.

You may qualify if:

  • Patients with common bile duct stone underwent successful stone removal by ERCP in Xijing Hospital of Digestive Diseases.

You may not qualify if:

  • Gallbladder stones or hepatolithiasis;
  • Stenosis of biliary duct;
  • Incomplete common bile duct stone removal by ERCP;
  • Common bile duct stent;
  • Unable to provide informed consent.
