Pancreatic duct guidewire placement for biliary cannulation for the prevention of post‐endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) pancreatitis
Abstract
BACKGROUND: Difficult cannulation is a risk factor for post-endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) pancreatitis (PEP). It has been postulated that the pancreatic duct guidewire (PGW) technique may improve biliary cannulation success and reduce the risk of PEP in people with difficult cannulation.
