摘　　要：The advantages of endoscopic retrograde cholangio-pancreatography over open surgery have made it the predominant method of treating patients with choledo-cholithiasis. After sphincterotomy, however, 10%-15% of common bile duct stones cannot be removed with a basket or balloon. The methods for managing 'irretrievable stones' include surgery, mechanical lithotripsy, intraductal or extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy and biliary stenting. The case presented was a referred 82-year-old Caucasian woman with a 7-year-old plastic biliary endoprosthesis in situ . To the best of our knowledge the examined endoprosthesis is the oldest endo-prosthesis in situ reported in the literature. Endoscopic biliary endoprosthesis placement remains a simple and safe procedure for patients with stones that are difficult to manage by conventional endoscopic methods and for patients who are unfit for surgery or who are high surgical risks. To date no consensus has been reached regarding how long a biliary prosthesis should remain in situ . Long-term biliary stenting may have a role in selected elderly patients if stones extraction has failed because the procedure may prevent stones impaction and cholangitis. 关键词：Common BILE duct STONES CHOLANGITIS Biliary ENDOPROSTHESIS ENDOSCOPIC retrograde cholangio-pancreatography ENDOSCOPIC SPHINCTEROTOMY
