PANCREATIC STONES AS a result of chronic pancre-atitis can obstruct the main pancreatic duct (MPD) causing abdominal pain or infection, and they are sometimes intractable to remove from the pancreatic duct without surgery. 1, 2 We present an impressive case in which a new, thin-sheathed basket catheter, introduced through digital peroral pancreatoscopy, successfully extracted pancreatic stones in a patient in whom a conventional basket catheter had failed to extract material even after stone fragmentation by initial extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy (ESWL). 3 A 69-year-old man with idiopathic chronic pancreatitis was admitted to our hospital with high fever and epigastralgia caused by an MPD infection distal to a pancreatic body stricture strengthened by a pancreatic stone (Fig. 1A). 4 Although his symptoms were alleviated by antibiotics given after endoscopic placement of a nasal-pancreatic drain over the stone, extraction was indicated to prevent recurrent infection. The stone was fragmented by ESWL-mediated delivery of 33 000 shock waves (Fig. 1B); however, the fragments could not be extracted using a regular basket catheter. Three months later, the patient was re-admitted for endoscopic stone extraction (Video S1). Although endoscopic retrograde pancreatography showed a small filling defect, four sweeps with a regular basket catheter through a side-view endoscope failed to catch the MPD stones (Fig. 2A). A SpyGlass DS (Boston Scientific, Marlborough, MA, USA) was then inserted into the MPD and showed two pancreatic stones at the pancreatic head and body. A MicroCatch catheter (MTW Endoscopie, Düsseldorf, Germany) was advanced into the MPD through the pancreatoscopy and successfully caught and extracted both stones (Fig. 2B, C). This is the first report of pancreatic stone extraction by pancreatoscopy using a pancreatoscopydirected, thin-sheathed basket catheter. Pancreatoscopy can detect pancreatic stones more precisely than a pancreatogram carried out under fluoroscopic guidance, and use of
