Abstract in brief

The study investigated factors influencing the success of completely removing difficult common bile duct (CBD) stones after temporary stenting followed by a second ERCP, finding that smaller initial stone size, placement of 7Fr plastic stents, and reduction in stone size increase the likelihood of complete clearance.
Complete clearance was achieved in about 64.7% of cases, with stone size and CBD diameter decreasing over time, and the use of smaller 7Fr stents being more effective than larger ones.
Factors such as being male, older age (80+), and larger initial stones (≥25mm) were associated with lower chances of complete stone removal, highlighting the importance of patient and stone characteristics in treatment planning.]
