Endoscopic Papillary Large Balloon Dilation: Guidelines for Pursuing Zero Mortality

Dong Ki Lee, Jung Woo Han

Open full text 31 citations

Abstract

Since endoscopic papillary large balloon dilation (EPLBD) is used to treat benign disease and as a substitute for conventional methods, such as endoscopic sphincterotomy plus endoscopic mechanical lithotripsy, we should aim for zero mortality. This review defines EPLBD and suggests guidelines for its use based on a review of published articles and our large-scale multicenter retrospective review.
