If you get over ambitious, perform a 22mm sphincteroplasty and a Stapfer Type II perforation occurs for en-bloc extraction of a 3cm CBD stone, you can use a 22mm DUODENAL FC-SEMS to close the defect.

Sphincteroplasty with 20mm balloon can be safe and very effective in selected cases. It would be much better to extract the stone en-bloc, rather than fragmentation. High probability of residual small stones.

Let me add three more : 1️⃣ Put GWs both sides first and than proceed to stenting 2️⃣ Always dilate hilum bilaterally before stenting 3️⃣ If you don't have Johlin (we don't) and afraid that you might not traverse the stricture, modify a NBD appropriately
