Complex endoscopic management of gallbladder cancer patient with Bouveret syndrome

Year: 2020

Type: article

Abstract: A 59-year-old white woman with unresectable metastatic adenocarcinoma of the gallbladder and a malignant hilar stricture managed with palliative uncovered metal stents in a Y-shaped configuration and repeated radiofrequency ablation (RFA) for tumor ingrowth was incidentally found to have duodenal obstruction caused by a large stone precluding a scheduled session of RFA. Because she had no complaints or symptoms related to the presence of the stone, a decision was made to abort the procedure and proceed with further assessment.
