Brief Summary
The purpose of the study is to compare the success rates of procedure success and complication rates in patients undergoing Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) using two types of currently available endoscopes. These are (1) duodenoscope with a Single-use distal cover or (2) a conventional reusable duodenoscope.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (1)
Number of Participants With Procedure-related Adverse Events
Patients undergoing Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) using either of the 2 duodenoscopes were assessed for superficial mucosal injury, perforation of the stomach or intestine, mucosal bleeding, pancreatitis, infection, death or any other symptom reported by the patient.
3 months
Secondary Outcomes (12)
Duodenoscope Maneuverability: Intubation Into Esophagus
Maneuverability will be assessed only during the procedure (approximately 10 minutes)
Duodenoscope Maneuverability: Passage Into Stomach
Maneuverability will be assessed only during the procedure (approximately 10 minutes)
Duodenoscope Maneuverability: Navigation Across Pylorus
Maneuverability will be assessed only during the procedure (approximately 10 minutes)
Duodenoscope Maneuverability: Achieving Short Position of the Scope
Maneuverability will be assessed only during the procedure (approximately 10 minutes)
Duodenoscope Maneuverability: Achieving Optimal Papillary Position
Maneuverability will be assessed only during the procedure (approximately 10 minutes)
