“…To date, there have been reports of cases in which the intraoperative use of high‐frequency generators caused pacemaker failure and death . However, there are also reports of cases of colon polypectomy completed safely using high‐frequency generators . Other reports have indicated that EST can be performed safely in cooperation with a cardiologist…”

The Japan Gastroenterological Endoscopy Society has developed the 'EPLBD Clinical Practice Guidelines' as fundamental guidelines based on new scientific techniques. EPLBD is a treatment method that has recently become widely used for choledocolithiasis. The evidence level in this field is usually low, and in many instances, the recommendation grading has to be determined on the basis of expert consensus. At this point, the guidelines are divided into the following six sections according to the 'EST Clinical Practice Guidelines': (i) Indications, (ii) procedures, (iii) special cases, (iv) procedure-related adverse events, (v) treatment outcomes, and (vi) postoperative follow up observation.

“…High‐frequency current is an external source of interference for pacemakers and considered dangerous as it can cause the inner part of the pacemaker to fail, or impair the demand mechanism. Reports of cases, to date, can be found in which the intraoperative use of high‐frequency generators caused pacemaker failure and death; however, there are also reports of colon polypectomy cases completed safely with the use of a high‐frequency generator . Other reports indicate that EST can be carried out safely through cooperation with a cardiologist…”

The Japan Gastroenterological Endoscopy Society (JGES) has recently compiled guidelines for endoscopic sphincterotomy (EST) using evidence-based methods. Content regarding actual clinical practice, including detailed endoscopic procedures, instruments, device types and usage, has already been published by the JGES postgraduate education committee in May 2015 and, thus, in these guidelines we avoided duplicating such content as much as possible. The guidelines do not address pancreatic sphincterotomy, endoscopic papillary balloon dilation (EPBD), and endoscopic papillary large balloon dilation (EPLBD). The guidelines for EPLBD are planned to be developed separately. The evidence level in this field is often low and, in many instances, strong recommendation has to be determined on the basis of expert consensus. At this point in time, the guidelines are divided into six items including indications, techniques, specific cases, adverse events, outcomes, and postoperative follow up.

“…Two case series that examined a limited number of procedures reported the safe use of snare polypectomy without specific precautions during endoscopy in patients with pacemakers. Ito et al . reported favourable results without complications using endoscopic therapy with a monopolar or bipolar snare in five patients with pacemakers.…”
