Prevention of post-ERCP pancreatitis: NSAID or pancreatic stent or both?

The Comparison Between Combination of Pancreatic Stent and NSAID with NSAID Alone in Preventing Post ERCP Pancreatitis

ERCP as a diagnostic and therapeutic tool for biliary tract and pancreatic diseases is associated with many complications such as Pancreatitis, bleeding, perforation, and cardiovascular consequences. A recent survey showed that the use of non-steroid anti-inflammatory drugs before ERCP could reduce risk of pancreatitis after ERCP. In order to assess this hypothesis in the patients admitted to T...

Pancreatic Stent or Rectal Indomethacin—Which Better Prevents Post-ERCP Pancreatitis?

We investigated and compared 2 clinical strategies to prevent postendoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) pancreatitis (PEP).We retrospectively reviewed data from patients who underwent ERCP between 2008 and 2014. Of 623 patients at high risk for PEP, 145 were treated with prophylactic pancreatic stent placement (PSP) only, and 478 were treated with rectal indomethacin (RI) only, ...

Role of pancreatic stents in prevention of post-ERCP pancreatitis.

The modified pancreatic stent system for prevention of post-ERCP pancreatitis: a case-control study

BACKGROUND Prophylactic pancreatic stents after endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) can help prevent post-ERCP pancreatitis. However most of the pancreatic stents need to be removed by another ERCP. The aim of this observational study was to investigate the feasibility and effectiveness of the modified pancreatic stent system for prevention of post-ERCP pancreatitis. METHODS...
