A history of hypertension, MRI indicating trigeminal nerve compression and a non-ideal pear-shaped balloon shape are independent risk factors for pain recurrence after PBC. Additionally, to avoid pain recurrence due to an unfavorable balloon shape, it is recommended to use 3D-slicer for preoperative guidewire path simulation and 3D reconstruction of Meckel's cavity.
