High-resolution esophageal manometry (HRM) is the gold standard for its diagnostic confirmation.

The time of clinical evolution until diagnosis was > 12 months (51.6 %), subtype II being the one that was diagnosed earlier and the most often (66.3 %). Dysphagia was the most frequent symptom (90.5 %). According to the comparative analysis by high-resolution perfusion and solid-state esophageal manometry equipment, the baseline pressure of the lower esophageal sphincter was higher in the solid-state esophagus, but the difference was not statistically significant. The median integrated relaxation pressure at four seconds (IRP4) was similar (21 mmHg) between the perfusion and solid-state measurements.

Technical contraindications include the presence of intraluminal foreign bodies precluding endoscope passage. Intragastric balloon (IGB) is a bariatric procedure that provides sensations of early fullness and satiety from intragastric occupation, thus leading to weight loss. While, according to guidelines, choledocholithiasis and cholangitis do not represent an indication for IGB removal in contrast to moderate-severe pancreatitis, where need for an ERCP and the procedure's technical difficulty most commonly require it. We report the case of a female patient with an IGB where ERCP was indicated. CASE REPORT: A 47-year-old woman visited the emergency room for epigastric abdominal pain radiating to her back. She had jaundice without pyrexic symptoms. At the ER an ultrasonogram revealed cholelithiasis and a dilated common bile duct (11 mm in diameter), no cause being then identified. Lab tests rule out pancreatic involvement and associated infection. The patient had an IGB (Photo 1a) implanted 5 months before the present episode. She was admitted to the gastroenterology ward with choledocholithiasis as suspected diagnosis. The study was completed by endoscopic ultrasound (EUS), which confirmed a dilated hepatocholedochal duct at 15.3 mm in diameter (Photo 1b), secondary to multiple choledochal stones. A direct ERCP procedure was initiated where the IGB precluded rectification and proper placement, which forced the use of a double-guidewire technique for cannulation (Photo 1c)5. Sphincterotomy and sphincteroplasty to 10 mm ensued, and 8 stones were removed using a balloon and then a basket catheter (Photo 1d). The patient was discharged at 24 hours after the procedure with no complications. DISCUSSION: No prior studies are available that describe the possibility of therapeutic ERCP for choledocholithiasis in IGB-carrying patients; in most cases IGB removal is taken for granted because of the procedure's technical difficulty. Our case report may well show a safe alternative to IGB removal by using less conventional cannulation techniques without higher complication rates. However, further cases are needed in order to draw significant conclusions regarding their widespread use.</p>","PeriodicalId":21342,"journal":{"name":"Revista Espanola De Enfermedades Digestivas","volume":" ","pages":"634-636"},"PeriodicalIF":4.6,"publicationDate":"2024-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139417917","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
