Overview
Other Imaging Findings
Role of ERCP
| Recommendation | Evidence Level | Strength of Recommendation |
|---|---|---|
| Patients with acute pancreatitis and concurrent acute cholangitis should undergo ERCP within 24 h of admission | Moderate | Strong |
| ERCP is not needed in most patients with gallstone pancreatitis who lack laboratory or clinical evidence of ongoing biliary obstruction | Low | Strong |
| In the absence of cholangitis and/or jaundice, MRCP or endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) rather than diagnostic ERCP should be used to screen for choledocholithiasis if highly suspected | Low | Conditional |
| Pancreatic duct stents and/or postprocedure rectal nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) suppositories should be utilized to prevent severe post-ERCP pancreatitis in high-risk patients | Moderate | Conditional |
