  • Title: Cholecystoduodenal fistula: a complication of inserted self-expandable metallic biliary stents.
    Author: Nishida H, Inoue H, Ueno K, Nagata Y, Kato T, Miyazono N, Nakajo M.
    Journal: Cardiovasc Intervent Radiol; 1998; 21(3):251-3. PubMed ID: 9626446.
    Abstract:
    We encountered a case of hepatic hilar cholangiocarcinoma resulting in cholecystoduodenal fistula after insertion of self-expandable metallic biliary stents (EMBSs). To our knowledge, there has been no report of cholecystoduodenal fistula after insertion of EMBSs. This case suggests that immediate gallbladder decompression may be necessary if acute cholecystitis occurs after insertion of EMBSs.
