Abstract

We studied whether cholecystitis after peroral endoscopic lithotripsy for common bile duct stones was related to configurations manifested in the cholangiogram, especially cystic duct.
Most cases of cholangitis occurred in both younger cases (≤70 years old) , group of large diameter, that of branching from middle common bile duct, that of angular branching by Kune and that of less spiral folds. Of these, diameter of cystic duct in cholecystitis was significantly larger than that without cholecystitis.
In conclusion, one of possible factors of cholecystitis after peroral endoscopic lithotripsy for common bile duct stones was thought to be a backwash infection.
