Botulinum toxin A (Botox) functionally paralyzes the sphincter of Oddi in both animals and humans, resulting in reduced pressures. No study, however, has specifically addressed common bile duct (CBD) pressures after Botox injection into the sphincter of Oddi with regard to treating biliary leaks and fistulae. The goals of this present study are to compare, versus biliary stenting, the change in CBD pressures after Botox injection into the sphincter of Oddi, as well as to evaluate the timing of onset and duration of these effects on sphincteric relaxation.
