Efficacy of Fistulotomy for Biliary Cannulation

Study Type

INTERVENTIONAL

Conditions

Summary

Access to the main bile duct is the first step in order to perform a therapeutic maneuver for biliary diseases. Early precut has been shown to ameliorate cannulation success rate, specially in difficult cannulation cases, when compared to guidewire cannulation (which is considered, for most, the standard technique). We aim to perform a randomized clinical trial comparing fistulotomy (F) precut vs guidewire cannulation (CC), as a primary cannulation technique, and compare outcomes between high experienced endoscopists (\> 200 ERCPs\[Endoscopic Retrograde cholangiopancreatography\]) and low experienced endoscopists (\< 200 ERCPs).


Eligibility

Min Age: 18 YearsMax Age: 90 Years

Inclusion Criteria1

  • All patients undergoing ERCP with suspected or confirmed of choledocholithiasis, malignant and benign biliary stenosis.

Exclusion Criteria3

  • patients with previous ERCP, altered gastro-duodenal anatomy by previous surgery, suspicion or diagnosis of ampullary neoplasm, duodenal cancer, periampullary diverticula types 1 and 2, pregnant women, coagulopathy with INR greater than 1.5.
  • Elimination Criteria:
  • \- Incomplete procedure due to anesthesia adverse events.

Interventions

PROCEDUREFistulotomy - High experienced.

We will perform a duodenoscopy, once located next to the papilla, we will perform precut fistulotomy on the papillary infundibulum with a needle knife with EBRE, EndoCut I, Effect 2, until biliary fluid exit is seen or the biliary duct is noted, then we will access to the biliary tree to complete de procedure.

PROCEDUREFistulotomy - Low experienced.

We will perform a duodenoscopy, once located next to the papilla, we will perform precut fistulotomy on the papillary infundibulum with a needle knife with EBRE, EndoCut I, Effect 2, until biliary fluid exit is seen or the biliary duct is noted, then we will access to the biliary tree to complete de procedure.

PROCEDUREConventional (guidewire) cannulation- High experienced

We will perform a duodenoscopy, once located next to the papilla, we will perform cannulation with sphincterotome and hydrophilic tipped guidewire aided by fluoroscopy, once the guidewire reaches de common bile duct (seen on fluoroscopy) we will continue with the procedure according to the patient's indication.

PROCEDUREConventional (guidewire) cannulation - Low experienced

We will perform a duodenoscopy, once located next to the papilla, we will perform cannulation with sphincterotome and hydrophilic tipped guidewire aided by fluoroscopy, once the guidewire reaches de common bile duct (seen on fluoroscopy) we will continue with the procedure according to the patient's indication.
