Fístula coledocoduodenal / Choledochoduodenal fistula

La fistulas biliares internas son consideras una complicación poco frecuente de las enfermedad biliar y aún más raras del ulcus duodenal. Constituyen un hallazgo ocasional durante la colangiografía retrograda endoscópica durante el estudio de la enfermedad biliar recurrente. Se relaciona principalmente con la litiasis vesicular complicada. Puede afectar hasta un 2 por ciento del total de los pacientes con enfermedad biliar y se asocia a una mayor incidencia de carcinoma de este sistema. La localización más habitual es entre la vesícula y el duodeno (colecistoduodenal) en un 72 - 80 por ciento de los casos. La coledocoduodenal -la cual se relaciona con el caso a reportar- es de las menos frecuentes, la cual se encuentra solo en 3-5 por ciento. Se presenta a un paciente masculino de 44 años, operado hace 26 años de úlcera duodenal perforada. En octubre de 2015 debutó con íctero ligero, coluria y dolor en hipocondrio derecho, que impresionó hepatitis toxica, cuadro que recurrió en varias ocasiones. Durante el estudio realizado en su última crisis, se halló una fístula coledocoduodenal, se remitió a nuestro centro para tratamiento quirúrgico. Debido a lo infrecuente del caso, se decidió realizar revisión de la literatura actual y su presentación(AU)

Internal biliary fistulas are considered a rare complication of biliary disease and even rarer of duodenal ulcers. They are an occasional finding during endoscopic retrograde cholangiography during the study of recurrent biliary disease. It is mainly related to complicated vesicular lithiasis. It can affect up to 2 percent of all patients with biliary disease and is associated with a higher incidence of carcinoma in this system. The most common localization is between the gallbladder and the duodenum (cholecystoduodenal) in 72-80 percent of cases. The choledocoduodenal type, related to the case to be reported, is the least frequent, which is found in 3-5 percent of the cases. A case is presented of a 44-year-old male patient, operated 26 years ago for perforated duodenal ulcer. In October 2015, the patient debuted with light icterus, choluria and pain to the right hypochondrium, which seemed to be toxic hepatitis, a clincal frame that relapsed in several occasions. During the study performed in his last crisis, a choledochoduodenal fistula was found and he was referred to our center for surgical treatment. Due to the infrequent case, it was decided to review the current literature and its presentation(AU)

Traumatic Common Bile Duct Injury and Spontaneous Formation of Choledochoduodenal Fistula Managed by Cholecystojejunostomy: A Case Report and Review of Literature.

Traumatic injury to extrahepatic bile duct system is a rare entity. Associated injuries are usually the indication of surgical exploration, and most of the common bile duct (CBD) injuries are diagnosed intraoperatively. Here, we present a case of a 23-year-old boy with a history of road traffic accident. Intraoperatively there was moderate hemoperitoneum with Grade 3 liver laceration, Grade 1 splenic laceration, laceration of anterior wall of stomach, common hepatic artery tear, and complete transaction of CBD. The principle of damage control surgery followed. Stomach laceration repaired and common hepatic artery ligated. Infant feeding tube placed in a proximal portion of transected CBD and distal portion ligated. The patient was discharged on the 45th day with infant feeding tube draining bile. In follow-up OPD tube cholangiogram followed by magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography done which showed the formation of a choledochoduodenal fistula. Infant feeding tube removed. The patient did well for next 6 months but after that he presented with jaundice which on evaluation found to be due to stricture of choledochoduodenal fistula. The patient underwent elective cholecystojejunostomy. Miraculous spontaneous formation of choledochoduodenal fistula in traumatic CBD injury and management by cholecystojejunostomy is very less reported in the literature.

Diagnosis and management of 76 cases with choledochoduodenal fistula / 局解手术学杂志

Objective To study the case of 76 patients with choledochoduodenal fistula ( CDF) ,and summarize the experience of mak-ing diagnosis and treatment. Methods From January 1999 to June 2012,76 patients with CDF were treated in our department and then was confirmed by endoscopic retrograde cholangiography ( ERCP) . All patients were classified based on the location of duodenal papilla in rela-tion to the orificium fistulae of CDF. Different therapies were used to certain CDF depending on the diameter of the orificium fistulae of CDF. Of the 76 CDF patients,70 patients (92%) required surgery. Results The fistula of 76 CDF patients have three types,and the formation of this classification was based on the position between the duodenal papilla and the orificium fistulae of CDF. Different therapies referred to cer-tain diameter of CDF,70 patients required surgery and 6 acquired pharmacotherapy. Of the 70 patients needing surgical intervention,clinical outcomes were excellent in 66 patients. Follow-up of these patients for 6 months to 10 years showed they did not suffer from further cholangi-tis. Conclusion The past history of biliary disease,upper abdominal pain,fever,and jaundice may lead to the disease of CDF. ERCP was the primary method for diagnosing this disease,and operative therapy was the primary treatment for most CDF patients.

New Technique of Endoscopic Sphincterotomy with Iso-Tome(R) to Incise the Distal Papillary Roof in Patients with Choledocholiths and Choledochoduodenal Fistula

BACKGROUND/AIMS: It is sometimes difficult to incise the distal papillary roof (PR) completely in patients with choledocholiths and choledochoduodenal fistula (CDF). The Iso-Tome(R) (MTW-Endoskopie W. Haag KG), which is helpful in preventing electrical leakage, has good orientation capabilities and can be easily placed at the orifice of the CDF or ampulla of Vater (AV). We aimed to evaluate the efficacy of endoscopic sphincterotomy (ES) with the Iso-Tome(R) for cutting the distal PR. METHODS: Between May 2003 and July 2012, 35 patients were analyzed retrospectively. The distal PR was cut downward and/or upward using the Iso-tome(R) until the pink intrapapillary mucosa was fully exposed. Downward incisions were performed from the opening of the CDF to the orifice of the AV; upward incisions were performed in reverse. RESULTS: Spontaneous or artificial CDF occurred in four and 31 patients, respectively. The technical and therapeutic success rates were 94.3% (33/35) and 94.3% (33/35), respectively. There was no case of electrical damage to the pink intrapapillary mucosa. Adverse events occurred in 2.9% (1/35; 1, mild bleeding) of patients. CONCLUSIONS: The new technique of ES with the Iso-tome(R) is feasible and useful for effectively incising the distal PR in patients with CDF and choledocholiths.

Spontaneous Choledochoduodenal Fistula after Metallic Biliary Stent Placement in a Patient with Ampulla of Vater Carcinoma

Biliary stent-related enteric perforations are very rare complications that are caused by the sharp end of a metallic stent, stent migration, or tumor invasion. Moreover, the choledochoduodenal fistula resulting from metallic biliary stent-induced perforation is extremely rare. Here, we report a case in which a spontaneous choledochoduodenal fistula occurred after biliary metallic stent placement in a patient with an Ampulla of Vater carcinoma but was successfully managed by supportive treatments, including nasobiliary drainage. This case might have occurred as the result of a rupture of the bile duct following pressure necrosis and inflammation caused by impacted calculi and food materials over the tumor ingrowth in the uncovered biliary stent.

Two Cases of Double Papilla of Vater / 대한소화기내시경학회지

The Vaterian system consists of the common bile duct and the duct of Wirsung as they conjoin at the level of the duodenum, forming the major papilla of Vater. A double papilla of Vater with separate openings that form the bile duct and the pancreatic duct is a rare anatomic anomaly, which is observed in 0.18% of patients during endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography. When a double papilla is noted, the additional problem is to determine if it is an anatomic variant or a choledochoduodenal fistula. We report two cases of a double papilla; one was associated with choledocholithiasis, and the other was identified incidentally during screening upper gastrointestinal endoscopy.

A Case of Choledochoduodenal Fistula due to Duodenal Ulcer / 대한소화기내시경학회지

Spontaneous internal biliary fistulas are not an uncommon complication of primary biliary disease. Almost 90% of the abnormal biliary-enteric communications between the gallbladder and the duodenum are caused by perforation via gallstones into an otherwise normal duodenum. However, biliary-enteric communications that are caused by primary duodenal ulcer disease are much less common. We experienced a case of duodenal peptic ulcer disease that perforated into the common bile duct in a 45-year-old woman.

A Case of Duodenal Diverticulum Accompanied with Choledochoduodenal and Pancreaticoduodenal Fistulas / 대한소화기학회지

Choledochoduodenal fistula (CDF) occurring simultaneously with pancreaticoduodenal fistula is extremely rare. CDF has known to be a chronic sequela of cholelithiasis, but it is unknown whether pancreaticoduodenal fistula results from chronic cholelithiasis as well. We report a case of cholelithiasis accompanied with choledochoduodenal and pancreaticoduodenal fistula opening into small suprapapillary diverticulum in a 80-year-old woman.

Diagnosis and treatment of choledochoduodenal fistula / 临床外科杂志

Objective To study the diagnosis and treatm ent of choledochoduodenal Fistula (CDF).Methods To analysis preoperative and operative examination and postoperative situation of CDF.Results The operation confirmed the preoperative ERCP diagnosis of 19 cases with CDF.9 cases have been taken the choledochojejunostomy with tran sverse cutting the common bile duct and this method has been proved very effecti ve. Conclusions ERCP is an important method for the preoper ative diagnosis of CDF. The choledochojejunostomy with the common bile transvers ed cat duct is a recommended procedure to CDF.

Choledochoduodenal Fistula after Placement of Endocoil Spiral Stent for Pancreatic Head Cancer / 대한소화기내시경학회지

Retrograde endoscopic or percutaneous transhepatic bile duct drainage is the treatment of choice for palliation of malignant biliary obstruction. An expanding metal stent, Endocoil spiral stent, with strong radial force was developed to solve the problems of other metal stents which include obstruction by tumor ingrowth, migration, and epithelial trauma from the distal hard edges of the stent. A choledochoduodenal fistula is occasionally found during endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatiography (ERCP) or barium radiography. Cholelithiasis is suspected to be the leading cause in some endemic areas like Korea but duodenal ulcer is more common in Western countries. The case reported here is of a 78-year-old woman, suffering from vomiting, epigastric pain, and abdominal distension, who had a Endocoil spiral stent in the common bile duct (CBD) for pancreatic head cancer for 8 months. During barium radiograph, a fistulous connection between the proximal second part of duodeum and the CBD was identified.
