An 81-year-old woman presented with dizziness and nasal bleeding. Gastrointestinal fiberscopy (GIF) showed a pulsatile aneurysm in the duodenum, and that the orifice of the papilla of Vater was involved. Three-dimensional computed tomography imaging showed an unruptured aneurysm in the pancreatic duodenal arcade. The patient underwent an emergent endovascular embolization of the donor arteries using coils and gelatin sponge particles. She was discharged without any complications. This case was extremely rare because of the anatomic location of the unruptured pancreaticoduodenal artery aneurysm and the fact that it involved the papilla of Vater, was detected with GIF, and was successfully treated endovascularly.

The morphology of the major duodenal papilla (MDP) plays a crucial role in the selection of the cannulation technique. Primary needle-knife fistulotomy (pNKF) is an advanced cannulation technique is getting more popular because of the lower risk of post-ERCP pancreatitis (PEP). However, few studies have explored the impact of MDP morphology on pNKF outcomes.

Background/aims: Urgent endoscopic removal is required for gallstones impacted at the duodenal papilla. This study compared the clinical features of impacted papillary stones (IPS) with those of common bile duct stones without impaction.
Methods: This study analyzed a common bile duct stone database from 2017 to 2023, identifying patients with IPS.

Introduction: The morphology of the major papilla plays a crucial role in the selection of the cannulation method for the common bile duct during endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography. Nevertheless, there is limited evidence available that compares the efficacy and safety of cannulation approaches in certain papilla morphologies. The aim of this study was to assess the safety and effectiveness of 2 cannulation methods, including primary needle-knife fistulotomy (pNKF) and standard transpapillary (STP), in patients with long-size papilla.

Objectives: Periampullary diverticulum (PAD) is usually incidentally discovered during abdominal imaging, gastrointestinal endoscopy, and endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP). The influence of PAD on ERCP outcomes is unclear. The aim of this systematic review and meta-analysis was to provide an up-to-date evaluation of the impact of PAD on cannulation and ERCP-related complications.

Conventional duodenoscopy is challenging to perform in patients with a surgically altered anatomy (SAA). Short single-balloon enteroscopy (SBE) is an innovative alternative. We investigated the performance of short SBE in patients with SAA and explored risk factors for unsuccessful intubation.
