Thermal Changes in Guidewires Used During Endoscopic Retrograde Cholangiopancreatography During Electrical Conductance: An Ex-Vivo Safety Experiment

The risks of pancreaticobiliary tissue damage secondary to electrical conduction along cannulation wires in the vicinity of electrocautery has rarely been independently studied and remains mostly a theoretical issue. We aimed to evaluate the heat generated by commercially available guidewires in the...
