Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Ideal candidates for this study are adult patients who have undergone cholangioscopy-guided lithotripsy for bile duct stones within the specified timeframe.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients who object to the collection of their data will not benefit from this study.
A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.
What this trial studies
This observational study aims to enhance the management of complex bile duct stones by identifying predictive factors that may lead to failure during cholangioscopy-assisted lithotripsy using the SpyGlass system. It will analyze data from adult patients who underwent this procedure between January 1, 2018, and May 30, 2025, to determine which factors are associated with unsuccessful outcomes. The study will focus on retrospective data collection to draw insights that could improve future treatment strategies.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this study could lead to improved treatment protocols for patients with complex bile duct stones, potentially reducing the rate of procedure failures.
How similar studies have gone: While this study focuses on a specific predictive factor analysis, similar studies in the field of biliary interventions have shown promise in improving treatment outcomes.
