Olympus medical systems corp.(omsc) received a literature titled "guide wire selection (straight vs angled) in endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography using a normal contrast catheter performed by a trainee: a single-center prospective randomized controlled cross-over study".Literature summary: introduction: wire-guided cannulation (wgc) during endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ercp) is a selective biliary cannulation technique aimed at improving the successful selective biliary cannulation rate and reducing the rate of post-ercp pancreatitis (pep) incidence.This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of angled-tip guidewires (agw) vs.Straight-tip guidewires (sgw) for biliary cannulation via wgc by a trainee.Methods: we conducted a prospective, single-center, open-labeled, randomized, and controlled trial.Fifty-seven patients were enrolled in this study and assigned randomly to two groups (group a to s and group s to a).In this study, we started selective biliary cannulation via wgc with an agw or an sgw for 7 min.If cannulation was unsuccessful, the other guidewire was used, and cannulation was continued for another 7 min (cross-over method).Results: the selective biliary cannulation success rate over 14 min was significantly higher with an agw compared with an sgw over 14 min (57.8% vs.34.3%, p = 0.04) and for the second 7-min segment (36.4% vs.0%, p = 0.04).No significant difference was found for adverse events such as pancreatitis between the two guidewires.Conclusions: our results suggest that an agw is recommended for wgc performed by a trainee.Type of adverse events/number of patients: pancreatitis (4).The report is linked to the related patient identifier (b)(6).
