Title: Biliary sphincter dilation: a novel approach for management of a biliary basket impaction
Abstract: We read with considerable interest the study by Misra & Dwivedi [1] concluding that large-diameter balloon dilation of the sphincterotomy site is an effective procedure for removal of bile duct stones that cannot be extracted by endoscopic sphincterotomy and conventional extraction devices. Their study inspired us to apply, for the first time, their technique in the management of an impacted biliary basket.
