ARTICLE HIGHLIGHTS
Research background
The risk factor for post-endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) pancreatitis (PEP) in beginner endoscopist is not well-known.
Research motivation
It is hypothesized that there will be structural risk factors that can be known before the procedure.
Research objectives
In this study, the authors aimed to determine whether the difference in distal common bile duct (CBD) angle was associated with PEP.
Research methods
The authors performed analysis after propensity-score matching to compare the patient who underwent ERCP by different experiences endoscopists.
Research results
The authors found significant correlation between acute distal CBD angle and PEP in beginner endoscopist.
Research conclusions
These findings suggest that acute distal CBD angle is a risk factor for PEP in beginner endoscopist.
Research perspectives
We should pay more attention to perform the ERCP in patient with acute distal CBD angle by beginner endoscopist. And it is better to perform the ERCP by expertised endoscopist or to be with supervisor.
