Effect of Papillary Epinephrine Spraying for the Prevention of Post-ERCP Pancreatitis in Patients Received Octreotide

Effect of Papillary Epinephrine Spraying for the Prevention of Post-ERCP Pancreatitis in Patients Received Sublingual Nitroglycerin: A Multi-center, Single-blind, Randomized Controlled Trial

Post-endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) pancreatitis (PEP) is the most common complication with high costs, significant morbidity and even mortality. The major mechanisms of PEP is the papillary edema which is caused by manipulations during cannulation or endoscopic treatment. The papillary edema may cause temporary outflow obstruction of pancreatic juice, and then increase ductal pressure, resulting in the occurrence of pancreatitis. Nitroglycerin can reduce the Oddis sphincter tension, the internal pressure of the biliary tract and the pancreatic duct. Therefore, it is widely used in clinical to prevent and treat pancreatitis. Many studies found nitroglycerin might be effective in preventing PEP. And topical application of epinephrine on the papilla may reduce papillary edema by decreasing capillary permeability or by relaxing the sphincter of Oddi. There are reports that epinephrine sprayed on the papilla may be effective to prevent PEP.

The investigators therefore designed a prospective randomized trial to determine whether routine using papillary epinephrine spraying in patients received octreotide can reduce post-ERCP pancreatitis.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Incidence of post-ERCP pancreatitis in the groups
Time Frame: 48 hours after ERCP
The primary outcome is the incidence of PEP as defined by the consensus guidelines as 1) New or increased abdominal pain that is clinically consistent with a syndrome of acute pancreatitis without other acute abdominal diseases,such as gastrointestinal perforation,acute cholecystitia and acute cholangitis and etc, and 2) amylase or lipase ≥ 3x the upper limit of normal 48 hours after the procedure.
48 hours after ERCP

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Others complications
Time Frame: 1 weeks after ERCP
Others complications are the cute cholecystitia, acute cholangitis,hemorrhage and perforation,et al.
1 weeks after ERCP
