Randomized Controlled Trial Multicenter Study Comparative Study
Effectiveness of the J-Tip Guidewire for Selective Biliary Cannulation Compared to Conventional Guidewires (The JANGLE Study).
Wire-guided cannulation has become a common biliary cannulation technique worldwide. Different guidewires with various tip shapes and materials have been reportedly used for wire-guided cannulation. However, there are apparently no studies reporting changes in the biliary cannulation rate according to the type of guidewire used. ⋯ The biliary cannulation rate of the J-tip guidewire was not significantly different from those of standard guidewires.
