Wire wars: which guide wire is safer for pancreas procedures?
NCT ID NCT02290769
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study compares two types of guide wires (short vs long) used during a procedure called ERCP, which helps doctors examine the bile and pancreatic ducts. The goal is to see which wire allows faster and safer cannulation (insertion of a tube) and whether either reduces the risk of pancreatitis afterward. The trial planned to include 292 people needing ERCP, but it is currently suspended.
