Measure
ERC Arm
After screening examination and confirmed presence of non-complex bile duct stone by image, patients will be randomly assigned by stratified randomization to Endoscopic Retrograde Cholangioscopy (ERC) treatment. ERC: Standard of care stone removal with fluoroscopy.
DSC Arm
After screening examination and confirmed presence of non-complex bile duct stone by imagine, patients will be randomly assigned by stratified randomization to fluoroscopy/radiation-free direct solitary cholangioscopy (DSC). DSC: Stone removal without fluoroscopy using the SpyGlass device.
