Article Synopsis
  • This study evaluated the use of motorized spiral enteroscopy (MSE) for performing biliary endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) in patients with altered surgical anatomy at five centers in Europe.
  • Out of 89 enrolled patients, MSE-assisted ERCP had a technical success rate of 54%, while adverse events occurred in 14% of cases, including one serious incident of esophageal perforation.
  • The study was halted in July 2023 due to safety concerns after the MSE device was withdrawn by the manufacturer, indicating potential risks associated with the procedure.
