Abstract
Percutaneous anterograde evacuation of bile duct stones by dilating the papilla with an angioplasty catheter and expelling the stones with an occlusion balloon is effective, nontraumatic, and safe; this procedure maintains the anatomic and functional integrity of the sphincter. When performed by an experienced interventional radiologist, it is a viable alternative to choledochotomy.
