Gallbladder Stenting in FC-SEMS

After contrast injection, the cystic duct orifice will be detected. Using a sphincterotome, a 0.035-inch hydrophilic angled guidewire will be negotiated into the gallbladder. Dilation of the cystic duct will be performed using standard devices designed for biliary intervention, including pneumatic dilators or dilation progressive catheters. After dilation, a 7Fr plastic, double pigtail stent, length of 12 or 15 cm, will be deployed across the papilla. Finally, a fully-covered self-expandable metal stent will be placed alongside the gallbladder drainage for biliary drainage.
