Detailed Description
This is a retrospective cohort study. Patients with chronic pancreatitis who underwent ERCP for pancreatic duct stone extraction using either a basket or a balloon catheter were enrolled in this study.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- the rate of stone clearance in basket and balloon catheter groups [1 year after ERCP]
complete clearance, defined as fragmentation of the pancreatic stones to < 3 mm and clearance of more than 90% of the fragments; partial clearance, defined as clearance of 50-90% of the fragments; and unsuccessful clearance, defined as the presence of pancreatic stones ≥ 3 mm or clearance of less than 50% of the fragments.
Secondary Outcome Measures
- the rates of ERCP peri-procedural outcomes and the rates of complications of ERCP in basket and balloon catheter groups [1 year after ERCP]
ERCP peri-procedural outcomes included difficult cannulation, endoscopic sphincterotomy, dilation of stenosis, and extraction through the minor papilla. Major post-ERCP complications, which were defined according to the Consensus Criteria, included post-ERCP pancreatitis (PEP), bleeding, infection, perforation, and basket impaction
