Bile duct stones can be diagnosed with an MRCP or ERCP. The latter test may be needed to actually remove any obstructing stones.
If the jaundice continues, I would discuss the aforementioned tests with your GI physician.
The EGD that you mentioned will not address biliary duct stones.

Can you recomend the best clinics for my procedures? Money is not an issue. I would prefer any clinic in Europe as I live in Armenia, it is closer to me.
