The main outcome was successful stent delivery without additional tract dilation.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      A total of 25 patients in the DLD group were compared with 25 matched controls. Successful stent delivery without additional dilation was significantly higher in the DLD group than in the conventional group (92% vs 48%,\n                      <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">p<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u2009=\u20090.001). The guidewire\u2013bile duct angle measured immediately before stent delivery-system insertion was significantly larger in the DLD group than in the conventional group (153.4\u00b0 vs 123.3\u00b0,\n                      <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">p<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u2009&lt;\u20090.001). On multivariable analysis, a larger guidewire\u2013bile duct angle remained independently associated with successful stent delivery without additional tract dilation (odds ratio per 10-degree increase, 5.49; 95% confidence interval, 2.79\u201310.83;\n                      <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">p<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u2009&lt;\u20090.001), whereas DLD use itself was not independently associated with success after adjustment for angle. Device-related costs were lower in the DLD group due to reduced need for additional dilation. The guidewire\u2013bile duct angle showed excellent apparent discrimination in this cohort, with an exploratory threshold of 126\u00b0 (AUC 0.969), requiring external validation before clinical implementation.\n                    <\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>In
