- Abstract
Copyright © 2021 Korean Society of Gastrointestinal Endoscopy 147 Of all patients with symptomatic gallbladder stones, 10-20% are diagnosed with concomitant common bile duct (CBD) stones. The American Society for Gastrointestinal Endoscopy (ASGE) guidelines of 2010 recommended stratification of the CBD stone risk, determined by baseline biochemical tests and abdominal ultrasonography (US), when considering ERCP. As diagnostic imaging methods with good performance for CBD stones emerge, the criteria for high-risk CBD stones should include only those cases where the CBD stone is objectively identified using imaging tests.
