Endoscopic Biliary Intervention Using Traction Devices for Periampullary Diverticulum

Zusammenfassung:We describe the case a 92-year-old woman who was admitted to our hospital with choledocholithiasis and periampullary diverticulum (PAD). Due to PAD, clear visualization of the ampulla of Vater could not be obtained. Although selective bile duct cannulation was difficult, a 7-Fr plastic stent was placed during the first session. Fifteen days later, endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography was retried using traction devices, and the papilla became visible. Endoscopic sphincterotomy and stone extraction were performed without any complications. The application of traction devices in endoscopic submucosal dissection may be a promising technique in cases in which endoscopic biliary intervention is difficult due to PAD.
