Abstract:
Objective To determine if using a soft-tipped guidewire to cannulate the common bile duct may ameliorate development of PEP(post-ERCP pancreatitis)and facilitate cannulation of the CBD(common bile duct).Methods A total of 78 patients treated treateed in our hospital underwent ERCP through conventional direct cannulation(52 diagnostic ERCPs,26 therapeutics ERCPs)from 1998 to 2001 were randomly selected as group A while 112 patients underwent ERCP through guide wire-directed cannulation(21 diagnostic ERCPs,91 therapeutics ERCPs)from 2007 to 2008 as group B.Then we retrospectively studied and compared the following parameters between the two groups:1)Success rate of biliary access;2)visualization rate of pancreatic duct;3)the level of serum amylase,severity of abdominal pain and the rate of PEP.Meanwhile,the correlation between grading of pancreatic duct visualization and PEP was analyzed.Results The success rate of biliary access of the guidewire group(106/112 cases)was significantly greater than the conventional group(33/78 cases)(94.64%vs.42.30%,P<0.01).In group A,about61.53%(16/26)of the 26 cases could not continue the next therapeutics ERCP because of unsucceasful carmulation. The visualization rate of pancreatic duct of group A and B were 58.97%(46/78 cases)and 8.04%(9/112 cases)(P<0.01) respectively.On occurrence rate of PEP,group A(17/78 cases)was significantly higher than group B(4/112 cases)(21.79% vs.3.57%,P<0.01),and severe pancreatitis occurred in 3 patients in conventional group.However,there was no severe pancreatitis in the guide wire group.There were no significant differences (P>0.05) in terms of the rate of hyperamylasemia between the two groups.The significant correlation was found between the grading of pancreatic duct visualization and the occurrence of PEP.Condusion Guidewire-directed selective access to the bile duct lowers likdihood of PEP by facilitating cannulation and lowering the visualization rate of pancreatic duct.The occurrence of PEP could be predicted by the grading of pancreatic duct visualization,which is a very important but not the unique factor leading to PEP.
