Risk factors and prevention methods for post-ERCP pancreatitis

doi:10.16139/j.1007-9610.2023.04.007

Abstract

Abstract:

Endoscopic retrograde cholangio-pancreatography (ERCP) is one of the primary procedural techniques used for diagnosing biliary and pancreatic diseases. Post-ERCP pancreatitis (PEP) is the most common complication of ERCP, which resulted in prolonged hospitalization and potential risk of patients' lives, especially in severe cases. Understanding the risk factors associated with PEP is of paramount importance for its prevention. Currently, recognized risk factors for PEP encompass both patient-related factors and ERCP procedure-related factors. By considering these risk factors, implementing appropriate preoperative, intraoperative, and postoperative interventions could effectively reduce the incidence of PEP. In this article, we concisely summarized the common risk factors and preventive methods for PEP, offering valuable insights for healthcare professionals in clinical practice.

Key words: Endoscopic retrograde cholangio-pancreatography, Post-ERCP pancreatitis, Risk factor, Prevention
