Dr Lindor - Complications of ERCP in PSC

[Guest guest]

Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography

(ERCP) is commonly performed in patients with primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC). The

risk of complications associated with this procedure is not

well established in these patients. The aim of this retrospective study

was to compare the risk of ERCP complications in PSC vs. non-PSC patients.

Its nice to know upfront there are more complications with PSC patients and procedure usually take longer. I would suspect taking  a preventative round of antibodies would help. Yes more study needed!

Its nice to know

take longer.

Not sure I agree with

you Ian, the way I read it there really weren’t more complications.

“The overall rate of complications in

patients with PSC when compared to non-PSC patients was not significantly

different (18/168 (11%) vs. 76/981 (8%), P=0.2) 11% vs.

8% isn’t that big of a deal, especially considering all the differences

that naturally come with PSC patients.

The risks of complications such

as Pancreatitis, perforation, and bleeding were not significantly different

between the two groups despite their demographic and procedural variations.

The duration of hospitalization

due to complications was also not significantly different between the

two groups.

I’m didn’t

read it the same way you did Ian, sure hope I’m right, the way I read it

- is far better news for PSCer’s.
