AIM: To examine whether it is possible to prevent the occurrence of post-endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography(ERCP) pancreatitis in patients experiencing difficulties with selective biliary duct cannulation by pancreatic duct stenting using a looptipped guidewire.METHODS: Procedure success rate, frequency of unintended insertion of the guidewire into side branches of the pancreatic duct, and incidence of procedural accidents were examined using a loop-tipped guidewire(Group A, 20 patients), and a conventional straighttype guidewire(Group B, 20 patients).RESULTS: The success rate of the procedure was 100% in both groups. Unintended insertion of the guidewire into a side branch of the pancreatic duct occurred 0.056 ± 0.23(0-1) times in Group A and 2.3 ±1.84(0-5) times in Group B; thus, unintended insertion of the guidewire into a side branch of the pancreatic duct was seen significantly less frequently in Group A. There were no procedural accidents in Group A, whereas pancreatitis occurred in one Group B patient; however, the difference between the two groups was not statistically significant. The serum amylase level after ERCP was 257.15 ± 136.4(88-628) IU/L in Group A, and 552.05 ± 534.57(101-2389) IU/L in Group B, showing a significantly lower value in Group A. Hyperamylasemia was found in two patients(10%) in Group A, and nine(45%) in Group B, showing a significantly lower value in Group A.CONCLUSION: The results suggest that in patients who experience difficulties with biliary cannulation, the use of a loop-tipped guidewire for pancreatic duct stenting may assist with the prevention of post-ERCP pancreatitis, and thereby to a reduction of the risk of post-ERCP pancreatitis or hyperamylasemia.
