Abstract

Previous studies have demonstrated the safety of performing endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) in the pediatric population; however, few have addressed the outcomes of children undergoing ERCP during acute pancreatitis (AP). We hypothesize that ERCP performed in the setting of AP can be executed with similar technical success and adverse event profiles to those in pediatric patients without pancreatitis. Using the Pediatric ERCP Database Initiative, a multi-national and multi-institutional prospectively collected dataset, we analyzed 1124 ERCPs. One hundred and ninety-four (17%) of these procedures were performed in the setting of AP. There were no difference in the procedure success rate, procedure time, cannulation time, fluoroscopy time, or American Society of Anesthesiology class despite patients with AP having higher American Society of Gastrointestinal Endoscopy grading difficulty scores. This study suggests that ERCP can be safely and efficiently performed in pediatric patients with AP when appropriately indicated.
