Low chance: Of pancreatitis, but not zero. Even if it does occur it is usually a minor form. Have you already had an mrcp (or mri)? Past gallbladder surgery? History of pancreatitis or jaundice? Would need much more past medical history with detailed medical information & why ERCP is being performed.
