Pancreatitis Following Biliary Endoscopic Retrograde Cholangiopancreatography for Common Bile Duct Stones in Japan: A Multicenter Prospective Cohort Study. [PDF]
ABSTRACT Objectives Post‐endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) pancreatitis (PEP) is an adverse event of ERCP‐related procedures. The present study aimed to evaluate the incidence of PEP in patients with an intact papilla who underwent ERCP for common bile duct stones and identify risk factors and preventive measures for PEP.

Complete endoscopic closure (clipping) of a large esophageal perforation after pneumatic dilation in a patient with achalasia [PDF]
The risk of esophageal perforation following endoscopic balloon dilation for achalasia is in the range of 1 and 5% with a mortality rate of 1-20%. Perforations need to be recognized early and, if reasonable, an immediate endoscopic repair should be ...

A Clinical Scoring Model to Predict Post-Endoscopic Retrograde Cholangiopancreatography Pancreatitis in Biliary Endoscopic Retrograde Cholangiopancreatography for Patients With Intact Papilla: A Large Multicenter Prospective Cohort Study. [PDF]
ABSTRACT Objectives The risk of post‐endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) pancreatitis (PEP) needs to be predicted in order to take adequate preventive measures in individual cases. The aim of this study was to develop a clinical prediction rule for PEP in biliary ERCP for patients with intact papilla.
