Common duct stone push-through.

Abstract

Most common duct stones are located below the junction of the cystic duct and the common bile duct. We describe a technique of trans-cystic-duct manipulation of stones through the ampulla of Vater and into the duodenum which we have termed common duct stone push-through (CDSPT). A balloon catheter is inflated above the stone and pushed into the duodenum several times. Successful manipulation of the stone into the duodenum is confirmed by repeat cholangiography. Stones were successfully manipulated by CDSPT in seven patients over a brief period starting June 1988.

Immune heparin-induced thrombocytopenia resulting from preceding exposure to heparin catheter flushes.

Immune heparin-induced thrombocytopenia (HIT) is a life-threatening adverse effect of heparin. It can result from any type of heparin exposure and by any route of administration; however only a few cases are reported after exposures to small quantities of heparin from catheter flushes. The major clinical problem associated with HIT is thrombosis. Early detection and institution of alternative, non-heparin anticoagulation are important. We report a patient with HIT associated with use of therapeutic-dose unfractionated heparin in whom immune sensitization to heparin was triggered by two 500-unit exposure to UFH associated with intravascular catheter flushing for antineoplastic chemotherapy in a patient with colon adenocarcinoma.
