Successful Retrieval of an Impacted Biliary Extraction Basket Without a Salvage Device: A Novel Modified Device

Clinical Case Reports, Volume 13, Issue 3, March 2025.
ABSTRACT During an ERCP procedure for bile duct stones, the patient experienced basket impaction during the operation. We successfully removed the impacted reticular basket without complications, utilizing a temporary salvage device modified with a lithotripter, thereby avoiding other future procedures such as ESWL or surgery.
