Abstract
This is the largest published retrospective case series for use of CSEMSs for management of retained CBD stone disease to date. We have shown high success rates for this indication. A well-designed, multicenter, randomized controlled trial might address the uncertainty of cost-to-benefit ratio and appropriate duration for CSEMSs to be left in situ. Specific stent modification for this indication, including wider distal flare and retrieval purse string loop, may also be useful.
