title: Clinical utility of 0.025-inch guidewire VisiGlide2TMin the endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography-related procedures.
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To examine the result of the use of 0.025-inch guidewire (GW) VisiGlide2TMas the first choice in the endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP)-related procedures without selecting the patient in a multicenter prospective study.
  
  
  METHODS
  ERCP using 0.025-inch GW VisiGlide2TMas the first choice was conducted in patients who have needed ERCP, and its accomplishment rate of procedure, procedural time, incidence of accidental symptoms were compared with those of ERCP using 0.025-inch GW VisiGlideTM.
  
  
  RESULTS
  The accomplishment rate of procedure was 97.5% (197/202), and procedural time was 23.930 ± 16.207 min. The accomplishment rate of procedure using 0.025-inch GW VisiGlideTMwas 92.3% (183/195), and procedural time was 31.285 ± 19.122 min, thus the accomplishment rate of procedure was significantly improved and procedural time was significantly shortened (P< 0.05). Accidental symptoms by ERCP-related procedures were observed in 3.0% (6/202), and all were conservatively alleviated.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  When 0.025-inch GW VisiGlide2TMwas used for ERCP-related procedure as the first choice, it showed high accomplishment rate of procedure and low incidence of accidental symptoms, suggesting it can be used as the universal GW. Clinical Trial Registry (UMIN0000016042).
