Kirill Basiliya et al. Endoscopic retrograde pancreatography-guided versus endoscopic ultrasound-guided technique for pancreatic duct cannulation in patients with pancreaticojejunostomy stenosis: a systematic literature review.

In a systematic literature search evaluating the efficacy and complications of endoscopic retrograde pancreatography- and endoscopic ultrasound (EUS)-guided pancreatic duct drainage, it was found that the EUS approach was significantly superior with regard to pancreatic duct opacification (87 % vs. 30 %), cannulation success (79 % vs. 26 %), and stent placement (72 % vs. 20 %).
