Trial summary

Selective cannulation of common bile duct (CBD) by insertion of a guide-wire seems to be associated with fewer complications and post-ERCP (Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography) pancreatitis (PEP) rate than the conventional biliary tree access with cannulotome (CT-25 Cook Medical) with contrast injection… Read more about this study

About this study

Selective cannulation of common bile duct (CBD) by insertion of a guide-wire seems to be associated with fewer complications and post-ERCP (Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography) pancreatitis (PEP) rate than the conventional biliary tree access with cannulotome (CT-25 Cook Medical) with contrast injection even if results are conflicting. the aim of our study is to test a new guide-wire (loop-tip wire), with a loop in the tip, for the prevention of PEP and biliary tree access, in PEP high-risk patients.

    participants will be followed for the duration of hospital stay, an expected average of 2 weeks

    Measured: up to 4 weeks

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Number of attempts to obtain the cannulation of CBD and number of participants with adverse events as a measure of safety and tolerability

    participants will be followed for the duration of hospital stay, an expected average of 2 weeks

    Measured: up to 4 weeks
