Epinephrine irrigation for the prevention of pancreatic damage after endoscopic balloon sphincteroplasty

Background and Aim: Endoscopic balloon sphincteroplasty (EBS) is an alternative to sphincterotomy for the treatment of bile duct stones. The purpose of this study was to determine if epinephrine irrigation of the papilla can prevent the pancreatic damage associated with EBS.
