New study explores preventive scope procedure for pancreatitis patients too frail for surgery
NCT ID NCT07238296
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at whether a preventive endoscopic procedure (sphincterotomy) can lower the risk of future bile duct problems in frail patients who cannot have their gallbladder removed after a bout of pancreatitis caused by gallstones. About 92 adults will be randomly assigned to either get the procedure during their hospital stay or receive standard care without it. The main goal is to see how long it takes for a serious bile duct event to happen within a year.
