Figure 2

Fluoroscopy-guided insertion of a collapsed 6 mm × 60 mm bare metal stent into the cystic duct prior to deployment (a). Note the round filling defects, consistent with gallbladder calculi (arrows). Subsequent successful deployment of a 6 mm × 60 mm bare metal stent in the cystic duct, and an 8 mm × 100 mm bare metal stent in the common bile duct and duodenum, with antegrade contrast clearance (b).
