S2652 Occult Hepatic Abscess Incurred Post-ERCP

Post-ERCP pancreatitis.

Pancreatitis remains the most common severe complication of endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP). Detailed information about the findings of previous studies concerning post-ERCP pancreatitis has not been utilized sufficiently. The purpose of the present article was to present guidelines for the diagnostic criteria of post-ERCP pancreatitis, and its incidence, risk factors, and...

Prediction of Post-ERCP Pancreatitis

Diagnostic accuracy in regard to biliary and pancreatic diseases has improved markedly since the introduction of computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography (MRCP)(1,2), but detection of small bile duct cancers and small pancreatic cancers is difficult even by those modalities. Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) remains the most accurate and relia...

Prevention of Post-ERCP Pancreatitis

Pancreatitis is the most common complication of ERCP. It can be associated with substantial morbidity. Hence, the minimization of both the incidence and severity of post-ERCP pancreatitis is paramount. Considerable efforts have been made to identify factors that may be associated with an increased risk of this complication. In addition, both procedure- and pharmacological-related interventions ...
