Gallstone ileus following endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography and endoscopic sphincterotomy.
Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) and endoscopic sphincterotomy (ES) is the treatment of choice for common bile duct (CBD) stones. Complication rates of 5-15%, and mortality rates of 1.0% have been reported. We report a case of gallstone ileus presenting 12 days after ERCP and ES.
