Core Tip
Core Tip: Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography is a common procedure used to manage pancreaticobiliary disorders. The group of most frequent complications is well described and includes pancreatitis, cholecystitis, and hemorrhage. Rare adverse effects occur occasionally but carry a significant risk of unexpected and potentially dangerous results. In some cases, the knowledge of pre-existing conditions might be helpful in avoiding the unwanted outcome, while in others, the risk factors are not clearly defined. Such situations demand increased caution in the post-procedure period. Physicians should be alerted by symptoms of abdominal pain or instability of patient’s condition, investigate further for possible causes, and be ready to implement the appropriate treatment immediately.
