Backgrounds And Aims: In ERCP, precutting is used when biliary cannulation is challenging. Precutting is a high-risk procedure that can lead to adverse events. TeXture and color enhancement Imaging (TXI) enhances texture, brightness, and color to define subtle tissue differences clearly and may be helpful in precutting. Nevertheless, there are limited video case reports demonstrating precutting using TXI. Here, we review the techniques of TXI-assisted precutting.
Methods: This video article describes TXI-assisted precutting in 3 patients with obstructive jaundice resulting from cancer of the pancreatic head. The existing literature on TXI for biliopancreatic endoscopy also is reviewed.
Results: In all cases, TXI helped in biliary cannulation using precutting. No adverse events were observed in any of the cases.
Conclusions: Despite the roughness of the precut incision surface, TXI was found to improve visibility and significantly helped achieve biliary cannulation.

Clinical Characteristics of Primary and Overlap Sjögren's Syndrome-Associated Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension: A Multicenter Retrospective Study.
Rheumatology (Oxford)
January 2025
The Department of Rheumatology, The First Affiliated Hospital of Nanjing Medical University, Nanjing, China.
Objective: To explore the clinical characteristics and risk factors for adverse outcomes in patients with Sjögren's Syndrome-associated pulmonary arterial hypertension (SS-PAH).
Methods: A retrospective analysis was conducted on SS-PAH patients diagnosed by right heart catheterization (RHC) between March 2013 and March 2024 across four Chinese medical centers. Patients were categorized into primary SS-PAH (pSS-PAH) and overlap SS-PAH, based on the presence of additional autoimmune diseases.

Background: Needle-knife precut papillotomy (NKP) is typically performed freehand. However, it remains unclear whether pancreatic stent (PS) placement can improve the outcomes of NKP.
Aim: To explore whether PS placement improves the success rate of NKP in patients with difficult biliary cannulation.

Article Synopsis
- This study compared two alternative techniques, transpancreatic sphincterotomy (TPS) and precut sphincterotomy (PCS), for accessing the biliary tree during difficult ERCP procedures.
- TPS showed higher successful cannulation rates (86.5%) compared to PCS (69.7%), but both were lower than the standard sphincterotomy control group (92.4%).
- Despite higher cannulation success, TPS was associated with more adverse events (24.1%) compared to PCS (18.8%) and the control group (15.5%), with increased rates of pancreatitis and perforation in the TPS group.
Impact of major duodenal papilla morphology on the outcomes of primary needle-knife fistulotomy for deep biliary cannulation.

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.
