Primary sclerosing cholangitis increases the risk for pancreatitis after endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography

摘要

Background & AimsPatients with primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC) have an increased risk for adverse events following endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP), mainly caused by bacterial cholangitis. The risk of pancreatitis is less examined. Therefore, our aim was to study adverse events following ERCP and to evaluate if PSC is a risk factor for pancreatitis.
