Study on bile duct stone treatment success
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
This trial looks at why some bile duct stones don't clear after a special procedure using a tiny camera (cholangioscopy) to break them up. The goal is to help doctors predict who will have better results.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You are 18 years or older
- You had a procedure called cholangioscopy-guided lithotripsy for bile duct stones between January 2018 and May 2025

This study tests a method to remove bile duct stones during gallbladder surgery, aiming to treat both problems in one procedure.
This trial looks at three different ways to treat people who have both gallstones and stones in the bile duct. It aims to find which approach works best and with the fewest complications.
This trial is for people who have a stone in the main bile duct (the tube that carries bile from the liver) but do not have symptoms like fever or belly pain. It tests how well different treatments work for these ‘silent’ stones.
This study compares two different ways of guiding a scope inside the bile duct to remove “complicated” bile duct stones. It may help find which technique is safer and works better for stone removal in adults.
This trial compares two ways of checking for and removing stones from the main bile duct during gallbladder surgery. One method uses a special scope (SpyGlass) during the operation, and the other does an MRI first. The goal is to see which approach is better for people with gallstone-related inflammation of the gallbladder who might have stones in the bile duct.
This trial studies how doctors should best check and manage people with suspected bile duct stones. It may help improve the accuracy and safety of next-step testing and treatment.
