Medical tool tested to prevent dangerous procedure complication

NCT ID NCT05336630

Summary

This study tested whether using a small grasping tool called forceps during ERCP procedures makes them easier to perform. ERCP is a procedure to treat bile and pancreatic duct problems, but it carries a risk of causing painful pancreatitis afterward. Researchers compared forceps-assisted procedures to standard methods in 152 patients to see if the tool reduced difficult cannulations and lowered pancreatitis rates.
