Abstract

Wire-guided cannulation (WGC) reportedly improves biliary cannulation and decreases post-ERCP pancreatitis (PEP) by preventing contrast injection to the pancreatic duct (PD). However, little is known whether unintentional guidewire (GW) insertion into PD increases PEP or not. The aim of the study is to evaluate risk factors for PEP in therapeutic ERCP using WGC.
