results of a multicenter trial using a Mechanical Lithotripter for the treatment of large bile duct stones
The American Journal of Gastroenterology, 1993Co-Authors: Michael J Shaw, Paul J Dorsher, Robert D Mackie, Joseph F Moore, Martin L Freeman, Peter B Meier, Timothy Potter, Scot W Hutton, Jack A VennesAbstract:: A prospective, uncontrolled trial of the use of a prototype Mechanical Lithotripter was performed in 116 patients at nine centers. Standard endoscopic approaches had failed to remove all stones, primarily because of large size (80% of patients). For 92% of patients, common bile duct stones were successfully captured and fragmented following the use of this Lithotripter. The frequency of pancreatitis and hemorrhage was no greater than with standard endoscopic retrograde sphincterotomy, and complications unique to Lithotripter use were not noted. For endoscopists skilled in therapeutic duodenoscopy, this modality should be considered in management of common bile duct stones refractory to standard techniques.

a new Mechanical Lithotripter for the treatment of large common bile duct stones
The American Journal of Gastroenterology, 1990Co-Authors: Michael J Shaw, Paul J Dorsher, Jack A VennesAbstract:: A prospective uncontrolled multi-center trial of a prototype Mechanical Lithotripter was performed in 30 patients with common bile duct calculi. Standard endoscopic sphincterotomy had failed to remove all stones, primarily because of large size (26 patients). Stone size ranged from 13 to 35 mm. Forty-three of 45 stones (97%) were successfully captured, fragmented, and extracted with this newly designed Mechanical Lithotripter. The overall success rate of 93% using this simple and inexpensive modality compares favorably with other methods under investigation for the treatment of common bile duct stones not amenable to routine endoscopic measures.

Successful retrieval of an impacted Mechanical lithotripsy basket: A case report
Digestive Endoscopy, 2010Co-Authors: Shomei Ryozawa, Hirotoshi Iwano, Manabu Senyo, Kumiko Taba, Isao SakaidaAbstract:We report the successful retrieval of an impacted Mechanical lithotripsy basket. In a patient with two large common bile duct stones, the basket with the entrapped stone was impacted within the mid-common bile duct. We then attempted to use another Mechanical Lithotripter; however the central wire of the basket fractured at the handle portion. Grasping a few wires of the impacted basket with rat-tooth forceps allowed the wires of the basket to slip away from the stone. The present report describes the safe and effective use of rat-tooth forceps in the management of an impacted Lithotripter basket.
