Spiral Assisted ERCP Is Equivalent to Single Balloon Assisted ERCP in Patients with Roux-en-Y Anatomy
2012
Background
Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) is often unsuccessful in patients with Roux-en-Y anatomy. Augmented enteroscopy allows deep insertion into the small bowel and can be useful in patients with Roux-en-Y anatomy. The aim of this study was to compare single balloon assisted ERCP (SBE-ERCP) and spiral assisted ERCP (SE-ERCP) in patients with Roux-en-Y anatomy in terms of diagnostic and therapeutic yield, procedure time, and complications.
