An elderly woman presented 2 months after partial cholecystectomy performed for gangrenous cholecystitis with choledocholithiasis and a controlled biliary fistula. Despite ductal clearance of stones via endoscopic retrograde sphincterotomy and stone extraction, bilious drainage via the fistulous tract persisted. Endoscopic insertion of a 10F Amsterdam endoprosthesis resulted in complete closure of the fistula within 6 wk. This case represents the first example of closure of a biliary fistula after partial cholecystectomy.
