          Abstract

          Introduction

          Periampullary diverticulum (PAD), although commonly discovered in patients undergoing endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP), remains controversial regarding its role in pancreaticobiliary diseases and the failure rate of cannulation. The aim of this study was to evaluate the association of PAD with pancreaticobiliary diseases and its impact on the outcome of ERCP.

          Material and methods

          A retrospective analysis was carried out on 1455 patients who underwent an ERCP. Patients were divided into a PAD group and a control group without PAD, and propensity score matching was performed to adjust for clinical differences. The comparison was focused on pancreaticobiliary diseases, technical success, and complications of ERCP.

          Results

          The occurrence of PAD is associated significantly with increasing age ( p < 0.001). Incidences of acute pancreatitis (AP), suppurative cholangitis, and pancreatic head cancer were significantly higher in the PAD group ( p < 0.05). After propensity score matching, the PAD group exhibited a higher rate of post-ERCP complications including haemorrhage, post-ERCP pancreatitis (PEP), and hyperamylasaemia ( p < 0.05). However, the prevalence of perforation and the success rate of ERCP did not differ between groups ( p > 0.05).

          Conclusions

          Periampullary diverticulum develops with aging and seems to be associated with an increase in pancreaticobiliary diseases and post-ERCP complications except for perforation. Additionally, the presence of PAD does not affect the technical success of ERCP.

          Endoscopic sphincterotomy complications and their management: an attempt at consensus.

          Despite its relative safety (in comparison with surgery), and undoubted role in many clinical circumstances, biliary sphincterotomy is the most dangerous procedure routinely performed by endoscopists. Complications occur in about 10% of patients; 2 to 3% have a prolonged hospital stay, with a risk of dying. This document is an attempt to provide guidelines for prevention and management of complications, based on a workshop of selected experts, and a comprehensive review of the literature. We emphasize particularly the importance of specialist training, disinfection, drainage, and collaboration with surgical colleagues.

            A randomized trial of rectal indomethacin to prevent post-ERCP pancreatitis.

            Preliminary research suggests that rectally administered nonsteroidal antiinflammatory drugs may reduce the incidence of pancreatitis after endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP). In this multicenter, randomized, placebo-controlled, double-blind clinical trial, we assigned patients at elevated risk for post-ERCP pancreatitis to receive a single dose of rectal indomethacin or placebo immediately after ERCP. Patients were determined to be at high risk on the basis of validated patient- and procedure-related risk factors. The primary outcome was post-ERCP pancreatitis, which was defined as new upper abdominal pain, an elevation in pancreatic enzymes to at least three times the upper limit of the normal range 24 hours after the procedure, and hospitalization for at least 2 nights. A total of 602 patients were enrolled and completed follow-up. The majority of patients (82%) had a clinical suspicion of sphincter of Oddi dysfunction. Post-ERCP pancreatitis developed in 27 of 295 patients (9.2%) in the indomethacin group and in 52 of 307 patients (16.9%) in the placebo group (P=0.005). Moderate-to-severe pancreatitis developed in 13 patients (4.4%) in the indomethacin group and in 27 patients (8.8%) in the placebo group (P=0.03). Among patients at high risk for post-ERCP pancreatitis, rectal indomethacin significantly reduced the incidence of the condition.

              The relationship between juxtapapillary duodenal diverticula and disorders of the biliopancreatic system: analysis of 350 patients.

              Data concerning the association of juxtapapillary duodenal diverticula (JPDD) with biliopancreatic disorders are inconsistent, but an association between bile duct stones and JPDD is widely accepted. The aim of this study was to investigate the frequency of JPDD and its association with biliopancreatic disorders in patients undergoing ERCP. A retrospective analysis was conducted of 5497 consecutive ERCP procedures performed in 2925 patients. Matched-pair analysis yielded 350 pairs of patients with and without JPDD, matched for definite risk criteria such as age, gender, and indication for ERCP. The incidence of JPDD was 12%. Patients with JPDD were significantly older than patients without JPDD (71 vs. 62 years; p < 0.0019) and had a significantly higher bleeding rate after endoscopic sphincterotomy (8.8% vs. 4.8%; p = 0.039). The presence of JPDD correlated with gallbladder stones (29.4% vs. 20.8%; p = 0.039), bile duct stones (46% vs. 33.1%; p < 0.001), and recurrence of bile duct stones (6.6% vs. 1.4%; p = 0.002). There were no significant differences in frequency of acute and chronic pancreatitis as well as pancreas divisum. After multivariate logistic regression analysis, technically difficult ERCP, bleeding after endoscopic sphincterotomy, and bile duct stones remained as independent risk factors. JPDD appears to be a risk factor for complications of endoscopic sphincterotomy and for gallbladder stones, bile duct stones, and their recurrence.
