Olympus reviewed the following literature titled " orlando protocol for single session ductal clearance of common bile duct stones at endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography ".Objectives: approach to management of common bile duct stones (cbds) by endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ercp) is not standardized.We examined outcomes by applying predetermined protocol for cbds management.Methods: when standard extraction techniques failed at ercp, presence of tapered bile duct and stone-duct ratio were calculated.Large balloon sphincteroplasty (lbs) and/or mechanical/single-operator cholangioscopy-guided lithotripsy was performed based on presence of tapered bile duct and stone-duct mismatch.Primary outcome was single-session ductal clearance.Secondary outcome was adverse events.Results: of (b)(4) patients treated over 16 months, (b)(4) ((b)(4)) had no tapered bile duct or stone-duct mismatch, and single-session ductal clearance was achieved using standard techniques in (b)(4) over median duration of 14 min (interquartile range [iqr] 9-21 min).Of (b)(4) patients with difficult cbds, tapered duct was seen in (b)(4) and/or stone-duct mismatch in (b)(4)).Single-session ductal clearance was achieved in all (b)(4) by lbs in (b)(4), mechanical lithotripsy in (b)(4), and single-operator cholangioscopy-guided lithotripsy in (b)(4) over a median duration of 29 min (iqr 17-47 min).Overall, single-session ductal clearance was achieved in (b)(4) with adverse events in (b)(4) that included perforation in (b)(4), postsphincterotomy bleeding in one, and mild/moderate post-ercp pancreatitis in (b)(4) patients.Conclusions: a predetermined protocol optimized outcomes by enabling single-session ductal clearance of cbds with high technical success and low adverse events.¿type of adverse events/number of patients.1.Perforation(n=(b)(4)).2.Post sphincterotomy bleeding(n=(b)(4)).3.Mild/moderate post-ercp pancreatitis(n=(b)(4)).(b)(4) patient with duodenal perforation was successfully treated with placement of an over-the-scope clip, which sealed the perforation and confirmed on fluoroscopy.During hospitalization post procedure, the patient aspirated clear liquids, developed aspiration pneumonia, and subsequently had a cardiopulmonary arrest.Supportive care from this patient was withdrawn 7 days after intervention.Admission was needed post-procedure to the treating facility because of acute pancreatitis, perforation, abdominal pain, bleeding.Duodenal perforation was encountered in (b)(4) patients during duodenoscope navigation that were managed endoscopically using over-the-scope clips.A stent was placed in one patient who underwent a successful second ercp for stone extraction.Mild and moderate pancreatitis were encountered in (b)(4) patients, respectively, who were managed conservatively.This report is related to the following linked patient identifiers: (b)(6).
