Background/Aims: Sphincterotomes are essential for endoscopic sphincterotomy (EST) and can also be used for cannulation in ERCP. A domestic new pull-type sphincterotome (Optimos™, Taewoong, Goyang, Korea) provides acceptable technical feasibility and safety, but there are no comparison results. Thus, this study compared the clinical performance and safety of Optimos™ sphincterotome to a conventional sphincterotome (CleverCut3™, Olympus, Tokyo, Japan) in patients who underwent ERCP.
Methods: From April 2021 to July 2021, a randomized prospective comparative study was conducted on 104 consecutive patients who underwent ERCP in three medical centers. The primary endpoint was the clinical performance and safety of sphincterotomes during ERCP.
Results: One hundred and four patients were assigned randomly to the Optimos™ group (n=51) or CleverCut3™ group (n=53). All demographic characteristics did not differ between the groups except the BMI. The technical success rate for cannulation, performance of EST, and total procedure time were similar in the two groups. The adverse events did not differ, even though two cases of post-ERCP pancreatitis occurred in CleverCut3™. On the other hand, in questionnaire analysis, CleverCut™ showed a better user’s convenience (median [interquartile range] 4.0 [3.0-4.0] vs. 3.0 [3.0-4.0], p=0.013) and manipulability (median [interquartile range], 4.0 [3.0-4.0] vs. 3.0 [3.0-4.0], p=0.039) than Optimos™, even though the other profiles did not reveal any differences.
Conclusions: New domestic pull-type sphincterotome can offer comparable clinical performance and safety profiles to conventional sphincterotome, but it needs refinements to increase the user’s convenience and manipulability. Further improvement and innovation will be required to advance domestic medical devices.
