Determination of the Effectiveness of Epinephrine Spray on the Papillae in Preventing Pancreatitis after Endoscopic Retrograde Cholangiopancreatography.

Background: As the most common complication of endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) is acute pancreatitis, researchers have paid due attention to minimize this complication using various drugs, one of which is epinephrine. Therefore, the present study aimed at evaluating the effectiveness of epinephrine spray on the papilla in preventing post-ERCP pancreatitis (PEP).

Materials And Methods: The present double-blind clinical trial was performed on 164 patients undergoing ERCP.
