Title: Cholecystoduodenal fistula: A complication of inserted self-expandable metallic bilitary stents

Journal Article · · Cardiovascular and Interventional Radiology

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.
