Is Needle Knife Fistulotomy An Effective First Step Strategy For All ERCPs?

Lawrence Charles Hookey·interventional·Posted Oct 5, 2018·Updated Apr 3, 2024

In Brief

A clinical study evaluating Needle knife fistulotomy for ERCP and 2 related conditions. Completed, enrolled 84 participants across 1 site.

Detailed Summary

Participants in this study will be undergoing a procedure called an endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP). This procedure is most commonly performed to help treat conditions affecting specific areas of the digestive system called the pancreas and bile ducts. Patients will consent to allow the study physician to access these areas of the digestive system by making a cut using a technique called a needle-knife fistulotomy. If the physician is unable to gain access through this method, they will make the cut using a technique called a sphincterotomy.
