Core Tip	We conducted a feasibility study that performed endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) with a newly designed J-shaped tip guidewire. This new guidewire has a strongly-flexed atraumatic tip with hydrophilic coating; therefore, it may contribute to the improvement of the passage through the intra-duodenal biliary segment and to the decrease of adverse events such as post-ERCP pancreatitis. We assessed the primary success rate of selective biliary cannulation within 10 min and rate of post-ERCP pancreatitis. The primary success rate was 90% (45/50); the rate of post-ERCP pancreatitis was 6% (3/50), but all 3 cases were mild. The J-shaped tip guidewire may facilitate selective biliary cannulation in ERCP.
