Abstract

OBJECTIVE: We aimed to evaluate the results in our case series of AP ERCP over the last three years. The prophylaxis for acute pancreatitis (AP) post-endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) consists of rectal indomethacin, but some studies are not concordant.

PATIENTS AND METHODS: We compared 241 ERCP performed from January 2014 to February 2015 with intravenous gabexate mesylate (Group A), with the 387 ERCP performed from March 2015 to December 2016 with rectal indomethacin (Group B) as prophylaxis for AP post-ERCP.

RESULTS: There were 8 (3.31%) AP post-ERCP in Group A vs. 4 (1.03%) in Group B.

CONCLUSIONS: Rectal indomethacin shows a better statistically significant performance than intravenous gabexate mesylate in the prophylaxis of AP post-ERCP, besides being cheaper.
