ABSTRACT
Objective:To evaluate the efficacy and safety of endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) for patients with liver cirrhosis combined with biliopancreatic diseases.Methods:Data of 99 patients with liver cirrhosis combined with biliopancreatic diseases who received ERCP at Xijing Digestive Hospital from November 2008 to December 2017 for the first time were retrospectively studied. Success rate of ERCP and incidence of complications were analyzed.Results:The 99 cases of liver cirrhosis were mainly caused by hepatitis B virus infection (40.4%, 40/99) and unknown reasons (30.3%, 30/99), and the mean model for end-stage liver disease score was 15.4±5.3. The common bile duct stones and bile duct stricture were the most common biliopancreatic diseases, accounting for 49.5% (49/99) and 33.3% (33/99), respectively. The success rate of ERCP was 100.0%(99/99). The total postoperative complication incidence was 14.1% (14/99), among which liver cirrhosis-related complications was 3.0% (3/99); ERCP-related complications was 11.1% (11/99), including 9.1% (9/99) biliary tract infection, and 2.0% (2/99) delayed bleeding. No post-ERCP pancreatitis, perforation or death occurred.Conclusion:ERCP is safe and effective for liver cirrhosis combined with biliopancreatic diseases.
