Prophylactic Biliary Stenting After Stone Clearance Improves the Safety of Needle‐Knife Fistulotomy: A Propensity Score‐Matched Analysis
This is the first study investigating the impact of prophylactic biliary stenting after needle-knife fistulotomy, suggesting that prophylactic biliary stenting after needle-knife fistulotomy and successful stone removal may improve the safety of ERCP by reducing the rate of post-ERCP pancreatitis. Further large-scale prospective studies are warranted to validate these findings.
