Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) is an essential technique for the diagnosis and treatment of pancreatobiliary diseases. However, ERCP-related complications such as pancreatitis, cholangitis, hemorrhage, and perforation may be problematic. For a successful and safe ERCP, preprocedural evaluations of the patients and intervention-related risk factors are needed. Furthermore,...

Background: The role of endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) as a therapeutic intervention for choledocholithiasis is long established. Endoscopic therapy involves stone extraction using conventional methods after performing biliary sphincterotomy. objective this study was to determine the outcome patients with being treated in our setup.Methods: This retrospective observationa...

We present a rare complication of cardiac arrest from asystole in the setting of prolonged endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography(ERCP) procedure.
