Olympus medical systems corp.(omsc) received a literature titled "addition of mechanical lithotripsy to endoscopic papillary large balloon dilation in patients with difficult common bile duct stones: a retrospective single-center study." ¿literature summary¿ this retrospective study aimed to compare the treatment outcomes of endoscopic papillary large-balloon dilation (eplbd) with and without mechanical lithotripsy (ml) in removing difficult common bile duct stones.A total of 122 patients were included (n = 44, eplbd + ml and n = 78, eplbd).Compared with the eplbd group, the eplbd + ml group required more endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ercp) procedures (¿2) (86% versus 67%) and longer total ercp time after reaching the papilla (78.5 minutes versus 25 minutes).Methods: patients with difficult common bile duct stones treated with eplbd, with or without ml, at the (b)(6) center between (b)(6) 2014 and (b)(6) 2020, were retrospectively evaluated.The rates of cumulative recurrence and complications were compared between the two groups.Results: overall, 122 patients (n = 44, eplbd + ml and n = 78, eplbd) treated by 12 gastroenterologists were included.Patients in the eplbd + ml group were older (85 years versus 81.5 years) and had larger maximum stone diameter (15 mm versus 12.5 mm) than those in the eplbd group.Compared with the eplbd group, the eplbd + ml group required more endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ercp) procedures (¿2) (86% versus 67%) and longer total ercp time after reaching the papilla (78.5 minutes versus 25 minutes).Complication rates were not significantly different (9.1% versus 12.8%); however, the cumulative recurrence rates were higher in the eplbd + ml group than in the eplbd group (69.4% versus 23.5% at 4 years).Conclusion: although there were no differences in complication rates, the long-term recurrence rate was higher in the eplbd + ml group than in the eplbd group.This study emphasizes the added burden imposed by performing ml during ercp and suggests that by appropriate case selection, it is possible to treat cases of difficult biliary stones using eplbd without ml. ¿type of adverse events/number of patients¿ event1: pancreatitis (eplbd + ml group) 3 cases event2: cholangitis (eplbd + ml group) 1 case event3: pancreatitis (eplbd group) 4 cases event4: cholangitis (eplbd group) 6 cases.

The literature described jf-260v/tjf-260v duodenoscopes, hence olympus selected tjf-260v was selected as representative model this report is related to the following linked patient identifiers.(b)(6).Once the investigation has been completed, a supplemental report will be submitted with the device evaluation results.
