Core Tip	Indication of endoscopic papillary balloon dilation is now extended from removal of small common bile duct stones to large or difficult stones by using large balloon. Balloon dilation itself is not the cause of pancreatitis. Avoidance of unnecessary pancreatic contrast injection, use the suitable balloon and pressure, slowly balloon inflation and adequate ballooning time to achieve a widely opened papillary orifice are the important steps to perform a safe endoscopic papillary large balloon dilation and successful clearance of bile duct.
