چکیده
Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) is an essential modality for the diagnosis and therapy of pancreatobiliary disease. However, complications of ERCP-related procedures are also common. Post-ERCP pancreatitis (PEP), the most common and potentially serious complication of ERCP-related procedures, occurs in 1 9% of all procedures (1-16). Moreover, the PEP rate increases to 10 40% in cases with risk factors (116). In most cases, PEP is generally mild and requires only conservative treatment. However, substantial complications, occasionally fatal, can occur. Therefore, it is imperative to establish a strategy for preventing PEP based on medical, social, and economical circumstances. The prevention of PEP, according to various studies, is presently based on the elucidation of its underlying mechanisms, the identification of its risk factors, the administration of pharmacological drugs, and endoscopic procedures such as pancreatic stenting.
