Abstract

Abstract : Highlight Kamada and colleagues devised a new technique for effective endoscopic papillary large balloon dilation without high balloon pressure. Advantages of the technique include the prevention of unintentional over‐pressurization of the balloon by limiting the balloon inflation pressure and reduced risk of pancreatitis due to continuous pancreatic duct obstruction.
