lüll Management of difficult bile duct cannulation in ERCP Udd M; Kylanpaa L; Halttunen JWorld J Gastrointest Endosc 2010[Mar]; 2 (3): 97-103In Encoscopic Retrograde Cholangiopancreatography (ERCP), the main concern is to gain access into the bile duct while avoiding the pancreatic duct because of the risk of post-ERCP pancreatitis. Difficult cannulation is defined as a situation where the endoscopist, using his/her regularly used cannulation technique, fails within a certain time limit or after a certain number of unsuccessful attempts. Different methods have been developed to manage difficult cannulation. The most common solution is to perform a precut papillotomy either with a needle knife or with a sphincterotome with or without a guide wire. This review describes different methods to overcome cases of difficult cannulation. We will discuss the success rate and complication rates associated with different methods of reaching the biliary tract.ä |
