Figure

• 

  Fig. 1 Cholangiography did not show the intrahepatic duct because contrast flowed from the extrahepatic duct to the jejunum through the anastomosis site (arrows).

• 

  Fig. 2 Cholangioscopic view showing focal stricture of the left intrahepatic duct containing multiple stones.

• 

  Fig. 3 Cholangioscopic view showing multiple stones within the affected duct.

• 

  Fig. 4 Radiographic image showing balloon dilation of the focal stricture of intrahepatic duct containing multiple stones.

• 

  Fig. 5 Radiographic image showing complete stone clearance.
