Bile duct stones are typically removed using endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP), a minimally invasive procedure that combines x-ray and upper endoscopyâan exam of the upper gastrointestinal tract, consisting of the esophagus, stomach and duodenum (the first part of the small intestine)âusing an endoscope, which is a lighted, flexible tube, about the thickness of a finger.
1 Stent placement. 2  A stent is a drainage tube that is placed in the bile duct or the pancreatic duct to hold the duct open and allow it to drain. 3  Gallstone(s) removal. 4  ERCP can remove gallstones from the bile duct, but not from the gallbladder itself.
