Abstract
Pancreatitis remains one of the most serious post-endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancretograpy (ERCP) complications. Previous meta-analyses show that prophylactic pancreatic duct (PD) stent placement reduces the risk of post-ERCP pancreatitis (PEP) in both high-risk and low-risk patients (pts). There is only one prior report of urgent ERCP and PD stent placement against PEP (Madácsy L, et al. Surg Endosc 2009).
