Description
Yuki Tanisaka and co-authors report a case in 2024 where a new nonslip balloon helped clear a bile duct stone in a patient whose stomach surgery had rerouted her gut. Such rerouting makes scope work hard: the scope sits unstably and the balloon often slips as it inflates. Their patient was a woman of seventy-eight with an infected, blocked duct.
The new balloon inflates at both ends first, pinning itself in place, and a black band marks its center for the camera. A stone about twelve millimeters wide blocked the duct. The balloon widened the duct opening without slipping, and a basket pulled the stone out cleanly. The authors present the tool as a fix for a known weak point of the procedure.
