AI for difficult gallbladder tube placement
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
This trial tests if a computer program can help doctors place a tube into the bile duct more easily during a procedure called ERCP. It may help people who need this procedure for bile duct problems.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are over 18 years old
- You have agreed to take part in the study
- You need a procedure called ERCP to look at your bile duct
- You do not have bleeding problems (like high INR or low platelets)
- You have not had a previous cut to the bile duct opening (sphincterotomy)
- You have not had certain stomach surgeries that change your anatomy

This study looks at why it might be hard to place a tube into the bile duct during an ERCP (a scope procedure). It is for adults who need an ERCP and do not have certain blood or pancreas conditions that could make the procedure riskier or more difficult.
This study tests an artificial-intelligence computer add-on (an AI “camera guide”) used during a procedure that looks inside the bile ducts. If you have a bile duct narrowing, it may help the doctor more quickly and accurately identify the cause while you undergo the usual procedure.
This study is testing a new computer tool that uses MRI and CT scans to create a 3D map of the bile ducts. The goal is to help doctors perform a procedure called ERCP more safely and accurately for people with bile duct narrowing.
This trial tests a special scope that helps doctors see inside the bile duct during an ERCP procedure. It may help people with blocked bile ducts that can't be treated with standard methods.
This study tests whether a doctor wearing smart glasses can help guide an ERCP procedure to reach the bile duct for the first time. If you need an ERCP and have never had this opening cut before, this trial may help make the procedure safer and more precise.
This trial compares two ways to get a tube into your bile duct when the usual method is difficult: one uses a special ultrasound-guided technique to meet the tube from a different angle, and the other uses a small cut to open the duct. It may help your doctor choose the safest and most effective approach for you.
