Factors associated with the need for electrohydraulic lithotripsy in endoscopic papillary large balloon dilation for giant common bile duct stones
A higher SD ratio was shown to be a potential independent risk factor for the need for EHL in EPLBD for large CBDSs. Patients with a SD ratio ⩾1.17 may be more likely to require additional treatment. These findings are exploratory and require validation in future studies to confirm their robustness and support their generalizability.
