Summary
This study looked at a new, single-use scope (aScope) for ERCP, a procedure that uses X-rays to treat bile duct problems. The goal was to see if the disposable scope works as well as reusable ones and might lower the risk of infection, especially in patients at higher risk. 59 adults from multiple hospitals took part, and researchers tracked how often the procedure was completed successfully and any complications.
