A novel non-slip banded balloon catheter for endoscopic sphincteroplasty: an ex vivo and in vivo pilot study

Endoscopic balloon sphincteroplasty is an established procedure for the extraction of bile duct stones. However, the balloon often slips during the inflation process, and its length is an impediment if the distance between the papilla and scope is limited and/or the stone is located close to the pap...

Description
Summary:Endoscopic balloon sphincteroplasty is an established procedure for the extraction of bile duct stones. However, the balloon often slips during the inflation process, and its length is an impediment if the distance between the papilla and scope is limited and/or the stone is located close to the papilla. This animal experimental study aimed to evaluate the feasibility of a novel short non-slip banded balloon measuring 15–20 mm in length for sphincteroplasty. The ex vivo component of this study was conducted using porcine duodenal papilla. Miniature pigs were subjected to endoscopic retrograde cholangiography in the in vivo component. The technical success of sphincteroplasty without any slippage was the primary outcome of the study and was compared between cases managed with the non-slip banded balloon (non-slip balloon group) and conventional balloon (conventional balloon group). The technical success rate of the ex vivo component, i.e., absence of any slippage, was significantly higher in the non-slip balloon group than in the conventional balloon group with the 8-mm (96.0% vs. 16.0%, P
