Combination of Rectal Indomethacin and Pancreatic Duct Stenting Versus Indomethacin Alone in Preventing PEP

April 7, 2020 updated by: Yanglin Pan, Air Force Military Medical University, China

Combination of Rectal Indomethacin and Pancreatic Duct Stenting Versus Indomethacin Alone in Preventing Post-ERCP Pancreatitis in Patients With Difficult Cannulation

Rectal indomethacin and pancreatic duct (PD) stenting (PDS) are recommended for the prevention of post-ERCP pancreatitis (PEP). However, the effects of the combination of the two methods on preventing PEP are controversial. We hypothesized that some group of patients with difficult cannulation might benefit from the combination of indomethacin plus PDS (IP) compared with indomethacin alone (IN).

Cohorts and Interventions

Group / Cohort
Intervention / Treatment
IP group
All patients recevied pancreatic duct stent during ERCP and one single dose of 100mg rectal indomethacin after ERCP.
A stent placed in the pancreatic duct to reduce PEP possibly by relieving pancreatic ductal hypertension that develops because of transient procedure-induced edema and stenosis of the pancreatic orifice
IN group
All patients received one single dose of 100mg rectal indomethacin after ERCP.
