Predictors of success for double balloon assisted endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography in patients with Roux ‐en‐Y anastomosis

ConclusionThe indication for REYA appears to impact on successful biliary cannulation in patients undergoing DBE‐ERCP. The procedure is most successful in non‐liver transplant adult surgery and post‐transplant patients without a second operation. It is least successful in patients with surgically corrected biliary atresia and post‐transplant patients who had a second operation. Alternative methods of biliary access should be considered in these patients.This article is protected by copyright. All rights reserved.
