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 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.

Conditions

• Post-ERCP Pancreatitis

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
DEVICE	Loop-tip wire (Cook Medical) for the cannulation of the CBD
