RESUMEN
An 88-year-old patient had undergone endoscopic stenting for the treatment of acute cholangitis caused by choledocholithiasis. After a year and two months, he presented with cholangitis caused by common bile duct stones that formed a stent-stone complex. Another stent was observed adjacent to the old stent;however, the cholangitis relapsed in a short term. Thus, we planned to remove as many stones as possible. These stones were not free-floating and had affected the bile duct. Endoscopic mechanical lithotripsy was attempted;however, it failed. He was successfully treated using peroral cholangioscopy and electrohydraulic lithotripsy. After three months, he developed cholangitis because of the recurrence of choledocholithiasis. After removing as many stones as possible and performing endoscopic stenting, he was followed up as an outpatient. He had no symptoms for seven months after the procedure.
