A member asked:
Dilated bile & pancreatic ducts.ercp scheduled. previous ercp caused pancreatitis. what are the chances this will happen again?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Known risk: Often depends on amount of manipulation of ducts involved / extent of procedure, and to lesser extent the meds used for procedure and meds you are on chronically. Talk to your GI dr pre-procedure to see if able to limit risk.
