Summary: | Acute pancreatitis is the most common and the most fearful complication of endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP).Prevention of post-ERCP pancreatitis has therefore been of great interest to endoscopists performing ERCP procedures.So far,only pancreatic duct stenting during ERCP and rectal administration of a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) prior to or immediately after ERCP have been consistently shown to be effective for prevention of post-ERCP pancreatitis.This commentary focuses on a short discussion about the rates,mechanisms,and risk factors for post-ERCP pancreatitis,and effective means for its prevention with emphasis on the use of NSAIDs including a recent clinical trial published in The New England Journal of Medicine by Elmunzer et al. |
