This research evaluates the effectiveness of a new sphincterotome in performing ERCP-related procedures.
Retrospective analysis involving 108 patients undergoing ERCP with the novel sphincterotome.
Assessment of bile duct cannulation and endoscopic sphincterotomy success rates.
Monitoring of adverse events related to the procedures.
Bile duct cannulation success rate was 72.5% with a median cannulation time of 3 minutes.
Endoscopic sphincterotomy success rate was 98.8% in various anatomy cases.
In 14 cases of failed deep biliary cannulation using traditional methods, 92.9% were successful with the novel device.
