Leena Kylänpää et al. Transpancreatic biliary sphincterotomy versus double guidewire in difficult biliary cannulation: a randomized controlled trial

This randomized study demonstrated that transpancreatic biliary sphincterotomy (TPBS) is an effective alternative to a double-guidewire (DGW) technique following failure of the conventional ERCP technique. TPBS achieved cannulation without increasing the risk of post-ERCP pancreatitis compared with DGW use.
