Core Tip
Core tip: Double balloon enteroscopy (DBE) has been occasionally associated with pancreatitis. As the etiology has not been clarified yet, this paper reviews the published literature and adds new results from the porcine animal model. Based on a growing number of indirect clinical evidences and supported by experimental studies in animal model, a vascular distress is suggested as the most likely etiology of post-DBE pancreatitis.
