Pancreatitis is the most common and important complication of endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP). Several risk factors play a role in the formation and progression of pancreatitis. These risk factors may be related to the patient, procedure or operator. All of these risk factors should be considered and should be lowered as far as possible with attention to pathogenesis of the development of post-ERCP pancreatitis. The pathogenesis include sphincter spasm, infection, contrast toxicity and pancreatic secretion that induce the activation of proteolytic enzymes and inflammatory processes. Some methods and pharmacologic agents assessed for the prevention of pathway in the pathogenesis to decrease post-ERCP pancreatitis.

Magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography (MRCP) is a medical imaging technique that uses magnetic resonance imaging to visualize the biliary and pancreatic ducts in a non-invasive manner. This procedure can be used to determine if gallstones are lodged in any of the ducts surrounding the gallbladder. It was introduced in 1991. MRCP makes use of heavily T2-weighted MRI pulse sequences. These sequences show high signal in static or slow moving fluids within the gallbladder, biliary ducts and pancreatic duct, with low signal of surrounding tissue. In the diagnosis of pancreatic disorders, MRCP is a much less invasive investigation when compared to endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP). Although both techniques can image the ductal system in detail, MRCP also allows imaging of the surrounding parenchyma. In a study from 2008, 269 patients undergoing both ERCP and MRCP showed comparable results between the two techniques. Prasad, SR; D. Sahani; S. Saini (November 2001). Clinical ...

Autoimmune pancreatitis (AIP) is a rare form of chronic pancreatitis that is often overlooked in clinical practice and can be challenging to diagnose. We discuss a patient who initially presented to our hospital in 2015 with a 2-year history of abdominal pain secondary to recurrent pancreatitis. He was seen and evaluated by the gastroenterology service and underwent a traditional workup including a serologic evaluation for AIP by IgG4 testing, with serum IgG4 level 7.3 (normal 2-120). He had a history of heavy alcohol but was reportedly sober by the time he was seen in the gastroenterology clinic. Over the course of the following 5 years, the patient had numerous hospital admissions for recurrent pancreatitis and complications including pseudocyst formation and chronic abdominal pain that led to long-term narcotic use. During that timeframe, he underwent a total of four endoscopic ultrasounds (EUS) and three endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) procedures to diagnose and treat ...

An 83 year old woman presented with a two week history of right upper quadrant pain, pale stools, dark urine, and itch. In the previous five years there had been two episodes of similar symptoms, ultrasound scan showing multiple gall bladder calculi. Past history included hypertension, type 2 diabetes mellitus, and obesity.. On examination she was not clinically icteric, apyrexic, but mildly tender in the right upper quadrant. Liver enzymes were obstructive, bilirubin 31 μmol/l (3-20 μmol/l), alkaline phosphatase 842 U/l (100-280 U/l), γ-glutamyltranspeptidase 778 U/l (5-50 U/l).. On ultrasound scan there were gallbladder stones and a dilated common bile duct of 11 mm. Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography revealed a large single calculus in the dilated common bile duct, unable to be extracted after spincterotomy. ...

This book aims to provide the basic technology and recent advances in biliopancreatic endoscopy. The method of Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) is popularly applied to enlarge the papillary orifice for removal of biliary and pancreatic stones, to relieve obstruction of distal bile duct or pancreatic duct by nasobiliary / nasopancreatic drainage or stenting, and to remove the premalignant tumor of papilla in recent four decades. The diagnostic role of ERCP is already replaced by the noninvasive images such as abdominal sonography, computed tomography, magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography (MRCP) and endoscopic ultrasonography (EUS ...

It is important to verify that other, more serious conditions are not being missed prior to embarking on a diagnosis of sphincter of Oddi dysfunction. Therefore, it would be important to verify that the patient does not have stones within the bile ducts, cancer of the pancreas or bile ducts, peptic ulcer disease or heart disease (poor blood flow to the heart, called ischemia or angina may mimic these symptoms).. The diagnosis of sphincter of Oddi dysfunction can be confirmed using a special endoscope that allows the placement of a catheter into the bile and pancreatic ducts. Injection of contrast through the catheter coupled with the use of X-rays can give the physician pictures of the bile and pancreatic ducts. The procedure, which requires a special scope is known as an endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP). This procedure can help determine the presence of gallstones in the gall bladder or bile duct. In the case of bile duct stones, special instruments and procedures ...

Identification of specific risk factors may lead to insights in etiology and prevention of this common complications. METHODS: Data on 6,071 consecutive ERCPs were entered into the Duke GI-Trac database. Complications were reported as part of a QA exercise. Candidate predictor variables evaluated were: age, gender, hepatobiliary/ pancreatic (HPB) neoplasm, pancreatogram obtained pancreas divisum, presence of pseudocyst, bile duct stones, sphincterotomy, prior post-ERCP pancreatitis, manometry, bile duct size. All pts with active pancreatitis were excluded. A predictive model was generated utilizing the stepwise logistic regression technique. RESULTS: 201 pts (3%) ...

Precut sphincterotomy is an alternative technique used to facilitate CBD cannulation following the failure of conventional bile duct cannulation. Needle knife papillotomy is the most widely practiced precut technique. However,Pre-cutting the papilla with a needle-knife is difficult, requiring experience and dexterity to control the axis and depth of the cut. Due to the increased rate of complications associated with this procedure, including pancreatitis, hemorrhage, and perforation, it was recommended to be performed only by experienced endoscopists.. The knob-tipped knife, a novel instrument utilizing a 2mm or 1.5mm cutting knife, is usually used for endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD). Its knob-shaped tip and nonadjustable length make the knife less likely to slip and penetrate the tissue during the resection. Since the process of precut papillotomy is similar to ESD, the precutting procedure with the knob-tipped knife may be easier to be performed, as well as be safer. The efficacy and ...

Results The response rate was 59.5% (222/373). Of respondents 52.5% considered ever using prophylactic pancreatic stents (PPS) for the prevention of PEP. Those who used PPS always attempted to do so for the following procedural risk factors; pancreatic sphincterotomy (48.9%), suspected sphincter of Oddi dysfunction (46.5%), pancreatic duct instrumentation (35.9%), previous PEP (25.2%), precut sphincterotomy (8.5%) and pancreatic duct injection (7.8%). The decision to use prophylactic NSAIDs was significantly associated with attempts at PPS placement (p , 0.001).The stent characteristics, follow-up methods and timing varied significantly. Of those who did not use PPS 64.1% cited a lack of conviction in their benefit as the main reason for their decision. Self-reported pharmacological use rates for PEP prevention were: NSAIDS (34.6%), Antibiotics (20.6%), Rapid IV Fluids (13.2%) and Octreotide (1.6%). Only 6% of respondents routinely measured amylase post-ERCP.. ...

Aim: Acute biliary pancreatitis (ABP) is caused by alteration of the papillary patency. The normal transpapillar flux and the cleaning of the common biliary duct (CBD) may prevent potentially avoidable recurrent pancreatitis. Patients and Methods: In the period September 1997/december 2008 we have treated 224 ABP (34 severe, 190 mild/moderate): 162 (72,4%) with the first attack, 62 (27,6%) with recurrent ABP (second or further attack). The patients with recurrent pancreatitis had not undergone, in the previous hospital stay elsewhere, the evaluation and, if necessary, the treatment of the papillary obstacle and /or CBD stones, sludge, etc. In ours hospital all patients had undergone complete treatment of ABP: intensive therapy, clinical: instrumental control of the papillary patency, then ERCP/ES(180-80%) within 72 hours from the onset in all SAP, in mild/moderate with signs of papillary lithiasic obstacle (US/MRCP confirmation), in all recurrent pancreatitis, and videolaparocholecystectomy. ...

N2 - Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) continues to be one of the most complex gastrointestinal procedures and carries the highest risk of complications. Optimizing the outcome of ERCP requires a fine balance between the risk and the benefit of every maneuver performed. This fine balance has to include an analysis of the indication for the procedure, the optimal timing, the setting where the procedure is performed, the endoscopist and staff training and expertise, availability of surgical and interventional radiology support, the risk of every maneuver and ways to minimize this risk. As in any other procedure, it is very important to know ones limitations and have a plan for failed procedures including consulting a colleague or referring the patient to a center with more expertise. In addition, a process of ...

Background and aim: ERCP with biliary sphincterotomy is the usual method to extract common bile duct stones. However, after sphincterotomy and by means of balloons and Dormia baskets not all stones may be extracted during the first endoscopy session. We present our experience regarding success rate after first ERCP. Patients and methods: 100 consecutive patients were included. All were diagnosed with choledocholitiasis by using ERCP. After biliary sphincterotomy, attempts to extract stones by means of balloons and Dormia baskets only were made. Billroth II gastrectomies and bile duct strictures of any origin were excluded. Results: during the first attempt at ERCP, complete stone clearance was achieved in 73 patients. Of the remaining 27 patients: 3 underwent surgery for choledocholithiasis, 20 had a plastic stent inserted, and 4 needed another ERCP for stones having been left in place. Mean extracted stone size was 9.4 mm (+/-3.8), and mean non-extracted stone size was 17 mm (+/-7.3): p,0.001. ...

BACKGROUND: Malnutrition-related diabetes mellitus is a distinct clinical entity subdivided into protein-deficient diabetes mellitus (PDDM) and fibrocalculus pancreatic diabetes (FCPD). Whereas FCPD has obvious pancreatitis manifested by pancreatic duct calculi, the evidence for involvement of the pancreas in PDDM is limited to the presence of ketosis-resistant hyperglycaemia. METHODS: We studied 10 patients with PDDM biochemically and radiologically. Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography was performed to determine if they had any evidence of chronic pancreatitis. RESULTS: Their mean faecal chymotrypsin level was low (13.2+/-5.72 microg/g), as was their basal c-peptide value (0.35+/-0.15 mmol/L). Islet cell antibodies were not detected in any of these patients. Ultrasound examination revealed pancreatic atrophy. In two patients, however, the pancreas was bulky. The ERCP showed generalized thinning of the pancreatic duct, measuring 2.4+/-0.06mm in the head, 2.01+/-0.08 mm in the body and ...

Acute pancreatitis remains a disease with high morbidity and mortality. Acute pancreatitis can be subdivided in acute interstitial pancreatitis and necrotising pancreatitis, largely compatible with clinically mild and severe pancreatitis. This diagnosis is made on the basis of patient history, physical examination, laboratory parameters, contrast CT scan and, occasionally, endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography. Prognosis on admission can be established using a scoring system such as the modified Glasgow score, the Ranson score and the Acute physiology and chronic health evaluation--(APACHE)-II-score. The treatment of acute pancreatitis is primarily conservative. Indications for surgical intervention are: progressive sepsis despite maximum conservative management, an established infection of (peri)pancreatic necrosis, peripancreatic abscess and perforation of stomach, small intestine or colon. The purpose of an operation is to remove necrotic tissue, achieve adequate drainage of the necrotic

The term Endoscopy is used to describe the direct visual examination of any part of the interior of the body through an optical viewing instrument.. This can be through the mouth into the stomach (gastroscopy), through the anus into the large bowel (colonoscopy), through the nose into the lungs (bronchoscopy), or through the urethra to the bladder (cystoscopy).. Another examination that is performed by the endoscopy staff is ERCP (endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography).

A dilute solution of vasopressin is injected into the mesosalpinx in order to decrease blood loss during mobilization of the proximal and distal tubal segments. Potts scissors and micro-bipolar graspers are used to mobilize tubal segments and to deperitonealize the edges of the mesosalpinx. Even though we have bipolar electrocautery (micro-bipolar forceps) at our disposal, we employ it sparingly to avoid occult thermal damage to the tubal epithelium.. A graduated-tip ERCP (endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography) cannula (Contour 3-4-5 Tip ERCP Cannula, Boston Scientific, Natick, Mass.) is inserted through the fimbriated end of the distal tubal segment; it exits through the newly opened proximal lumen of this distal segment and enters the newly created opening of the proximal tubal segment. This stent provides anatomic orientation and helps to identify the tubal lumen.. Preparation of the tubal edges and placement of the ERCP cannula are performed with the assistance of chromopertubation. ...

Elevated pressure in the pancreatic gland is the central cause of pancreatitis following abdominal trauma, surgery, endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP), and gallstones. In the pancreas excessive intracellular calcium causes mitochondrial dysfunction, premature zymogen activation, and necrosis ultimately leading to pancreatitis. Although stimulation of the mechanically activated, calcium-permeable ion channel, Piezo1, in the pancreatic acinar cell is the initial step in pressure-induced pancreatitis, activation of Piezo1 produces only transient elevation in intracellular calcium that is insufficient to cause pancreatitis. Therefore, how pressure produces a prolonged calcium elevation necessary to induce pancreatitis is unknown. We demonstrate that Piezo1 activation in pancreatic acinar cells caused a prolonged elevation in intracellular calcium levels, mitochondrial depolarization, intracellular trypsin activation, and cell death. Notably, these effects were dependent on the ...

The FDA recently issued a safety communication about potentially serious health risks associated with the use of ERCP endoscopes (also called duodenoscopes). These medical devices are flexible, lighted tubes that are threaded through the mouth, throat, stomach, [in order to reach] the small intestine [or duodenum]. Their use allows the injection of contrast dye [for imaging] or the insertion of other instruments to obtain tissue samples for biopsy or treat certain abnormalities. Duodenoscopes are utilized during a procedure called endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (or ERCP) which is the least invasive way of draining fluids from pancreatic and biliary ducts blocked by cancerous tumors, gallstones, or other conditions.. According to the FDA, the complex design of duodenoscopes may hinder their proper cleaning and disinfection. In particular, they feature an elevator mechanism whose moving parts... contain microscopic crevices that may not be reached with a [cleaning] brush. ...

Key advances include direct inspection of bowel lumen, biopsy of suspected disorders, and treatment of abnormalities, including removal of mucosal lesions, dilatation, and stent placement of strictures. Radiologists must be aware of the complications resulting from a variety of gastrointestinal, radiologic, and surgical procedures. This article reviews the imaging findings related ...

An MRCP is an abdominal MRI that concentrates on the biliary and pancreatic ducts to locate gallstones, tumors, inflammation and infection.

Results:. It was observed that the presence of dilatation of the biliary tract or choledocholithiasis in the ultrasonography was four and eight times increased risk of perioperative cholangiography for positive choledocholithiasis, respectively. For each unit increased in serum alkaline phosphatase was 0.3% increased the risk of perioperative cholangiography for positive choledocholithiasis. In the presence of dilatation of the bile ducts in the ultrasonography was four times greater risk of positive magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography for choledocholithiasis. In the presence of pancreatitis these patients had five times higher risk of positive magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography for choledocholithiasis. On the positive magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography presence to choledocholithiasis was 104 times greater of positive perioperative cholangiography for choledocholithiasis. ...

Common bile duct stones complicate cholelithiasis in 10 to 15 percent of cases. Most authorities believe ductal stones should be removed because of possible complications, including cholangitis and acute pancreatitis. The ability to predict the presence or absence of bile duct stones would be helpful in the management of these patients. Because of new diagnostic and therapeutic approaches, such as endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP), endoscopic ultrasonography and laparoscopic surgery, Prat and associates conducted a study to identify predictors of common bile duct stones in patients with biliary symptoms.. The 880 patients in the prospective study had been referred for endoscopic ultrasonography for the evaluation of common bile duct stones. This procedure is considered the gold standard for the diagnosis of common bile duct stones. The prevalence of choledocholithiasis in the study population was 18.8 percent (166 of 880 patients). In patients under age 70, the prevalence of ...

The mentioned outcomes confirm that intraductal pancreatic stent fragmentation is in fact an extremely rare complication of pancreatic endotherapy. In this short article we aim to be sensitive to the fact that a broken pancreatic stent may also occur in patients undergoing endoscopic treatment of main pancreatic duct disruption, regardless of the diagnosis of chronic pancreatitis. We agree with the majority of authors [2-4] that endoscopic procedures should be attempted at centers experienced in retrieval of broken pancreatic stents, despite the lack of guidelines for treatment of intraductal pancreatic stent fragmentation. We have developed in our medical center the strategy of endoscopic treatment of intraductal pancreatic stent fragmentation [1], which we also use in the patients with a proximally migrated pancreatic stent. According to our strategy, the first instrument used for retrieval of parts of the broken stent during each endoscopic procedure was rat-tooth grasping forceps (Figure 1). ...

Chronic pancreatitis is the progressive and permanent destruction of the pancreas resulting in exocrine and endocrine insufficiency and, often, chronic disabling pain. The etiology is multifactorial. Alcoholism plays a significant role in adults, whereas genetic and structural defects predominate in children. The average age at diagnosis is 35 to 55 years. Morbidity and mortality are secondary to chronic pain and complications (e.g., diabetes, pancreatic cancer). Contrast-enhanced computed tomography is the radiographic test of choice for diagnosis, with ductal calcifications being pathognomonic. Newer modalities, such as endoscopic ultrasonography and magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography, provide diagnostic results similar to those of endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography. Management begins with lifestyle modifications (e.g., cessation of alcohol and tobacco use) and dietary changes followed by analgesics and pancreatic enzyme supplementation. Before proceeding with endoscopic or

The APEC trial is designed to provide an answer to a persisting clinical dilemma: whether or not to routinely perform early ERC with sphincterotomy in patients with biliary pancreatitis at high risk for complications but without concurrent cholangitis. Guidelines clearly advise urgent ERC with sphincterotomy in patients with concomitant cholangitis and discard this intervention in patients with a predicted mild disease course. A recent Cochrane meta-analysis comparing routine ERC versus conservative treatment found no difference in complications and death in patients with pancreatitis at high risk for complications [8]. However, besides some notable limitations in the design of the studies included, the pooled sample size of patients with biliary pancreatitis who were at high risk for complications without concurrent cholangitis was too small to detect a difference in effect. As long as the precise role remains unclear of early ERC in biliary pancreatitis in patients at high risk for ...

return to top]. Endoscope - small, flexible tube with a light and a lens on the end used to look into the esophagus, stomach, duodenum, colon, or rectum. It can also be used to take tissue from the body for testing or to take color photographs of the inside of the body. Colonoscopes and sigmoidoscopes are types of endoscopes.. Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) - a procedure that allows the doctor to diagnose and treat problems in the liver, gallbladder, bile ducts, and pancreas. The procedure combines X-ray and the use of an endoscope--a long, flexible, lighted tube. The scope is guided through the patients mouth and throat, then through the esophagus, stomach, and duodenum. The doctor can examine the inside of these organs and detect any abnormalities. A tube is then passed through the scope, and a dye is injected which will allow the internal organs to appear on an X-ray..

A sphincterotome adapted to be used in the lumen of an endoscope for cutting a sphincter in a patients body using a cutting wire energized by an electrosurgical unit. The sphincterotome has a distal end segment and cutting plane orienting mechanism extending through the length of a sphincterotome tubular body between a handle assembly at the proximal end of the sphincterotome body and a distal end segment thereof for shifting the cutting plane laterally with respect to the longitudinal axis of the sphincterotome tubular body exiting the endoscope lumen. The lateral shift is in at least one lateral direction from an un-shifted position of the cutting plane with respect to the longitudinal axis whereby in use during a sphincterotomy, the cutting wire may be oriented into alignment with a particular feature of the sphincter, e.g. the twelve oclock position of the sphincter of Oddi and papilla of Vater, without having to reposition the endoscope and/or withdraw and reposition the sphincterotome in the

AbstractBackgroundPlacement of covered self-expandable metallic stent (CSEMS) for post-endoscopic sphincterotomy (ES) bleeding achieves excellent hemostasis results. Although CSEMS placement is typically performed after failure of conventional endoscopic combination therapy, its excellent outcomes may justify earlier placement.AimsWe aimed to examine the efficacy of

Gallstones are the most common cause of acute pancreatitis worldwide. Patients with severe acute biliary pancreatitis (SABP) constitute a subgroup of severe acute pancreatitis (SAP) patients in whom systemic inflammation may be triggered and perpetuated by different mechanisms. The aim of this prospective investigation was to examine the adrenal response to corticotropin and the relationship between adrenal function and outcome in patients with SABP. Thirty-two patients with SABP were enrolled in this study. A short corticotropin (250 μg) stimulation test (SST) was performed within the first 24 hours of admission to the ICU. Critical illness related corticosteroid insufficiency (CIRCI) was defined as follows: baseline value less than 10 μg/dL, or cortisol response less than 9 μg/dL. CIRCI occurred in 34.4% of patients. The patients with CIRCI were more severely ill as evidenced by higher APACHE II and SOFA scores and numbers of organ system dysfunction on the day of SST. The in-hospital mortality for

The fate of carbamazepine after intravenous injection in rats (n = 24) and the influence of activated charcoal on the kinetics was investigated. After randomization to four groups (n = 6, each), plasma concentration and the quantities of carbamazepine and metabolites excreted into bile, urine and intestine were determined using an in situ perfusion model of the small intestine (Ringers solution) with or without orally administered activated charcoal (AC+; AC-) and with or without bile duct cannulation (BD+; BD-). The cumulative amount of carbamazepine and metabolites exsorbed into the small intestine within 3.5 hr after intravenous injection was about 15% in BD- animals and about 3% in BD+ animals. About 20% of the dose was detected in the externalized bile. Activated charcoal did not influence the amount exsorbed into the small intestine. Terminal half-life in plasma ranged from 159 min. to 194 min. within the four treatment groups without statistical significant difference (P = 0.751). ...

According to its broadest definition, a therapeutic procedure is any medical or surgical procedure that is performed in order to repair, remove or otherwise heal any previously determined health concern. Common therapeutic procedures include a broad spectrum of interventions from immunizations and chemotherapy, to psychotherapy and the prescription of drugs and medicines. Surgical therapeutic procedures are performed once a specific health issue has been diagnosed and a physical procedure is deemed necessary. The general rule is to attempt other therapeutic interventions when possible. Surgery is however, the only cure for a variety of health problems. Therefore it is sometimes chosen as a therapeutic procedure, rather than a purely medical approach. In some cases, it can only treat the symptoms or the ramifications of a condition.

Your physician will give you precise instructions about how to prepare. Generally, in order to prepare for the ERCP, the patient will be advised to not eat or drink anything after midnight the night before the procedure, or 6 to 8 hours prior to, depending on the time of your procedure. A small amount of liquid may be taken in order to swallow any essential medications. It is imperative that you discuss any allergies, the possibility of being pregnant or general health problems (e.g., diabetes, heart, lung, kidney, or bleeding problems). These can greatly affect your response to the ERCP and its treatments. This will assist the physician in taking the necessary precautions in order to decrease the likelihood of any dangerous reactions. The physician will advise you what, if any, medications you should avoid. Medications that generally should be avoided or would require dosage or time-adjusting include Metformin (glucophage) to control diabetes, insulin, anticoagulants such as Coumadin, ...
