Article Abstract
Situs inversus viscerum (SIV) is a rare congenital condition characterized by complete transposition of all viscera. This anatomical pathology makes endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) technically difficult. We report a new case of a 70-year-old Chinese male with total SIV who had obstructive jaundice. Magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography demonstrated a number of stones in the gallbladder and common bile duct (CBD). Therapeutic ERCP was performed to relieve biliary obstruction and remove the CBD stones. This procedure started with the patient in a supine position and the endoscopist at the left side of the table. When the papilla was maintained, the patient was repositioned to a prone position and standard endoscopic sphincterotomy and endoscopic papillary balloon dilatation procedures were conducted. ERCP was performed successfully and relevant complications did not occur in this patient. We also present a review of the literature published between 1985 and 2014 in the PubMed and EMBASE databases. There were eight published cases during this period, with one each from America, Finland, India, Italy, South Korea and Pakistan, and two from Spain. Our case is the first reported in China.

Introduction: Reports of pseudoaneurysms associated with biliary self-expandable metallic stent (SEMS) placement have been increasing. Recently, cases of hepatic pseudoaneurysm rupture caused by double pigtail plastic stents (DPS) have also been reported. The symptoms of pseudoaneurysms are often non-specific, and many cases are diagnosed only after rupture.

Background: Pancreatic acinar cell carcinoma (PACC) is a rare subtype of pancreatic cancer and the clinicopathological behavior of PACC is not yet fully understood. PACC rarely invades the main pancreatic duct (MPD), which causes intraductal growth. Thus, herein, we have reported a rare case of PACC that invaded the MPD and disseminated to the branches of the pancreatic duct (BDs) without exhibiting any continuity with the main tumor.

Purpose: To determine if endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) should be performed with surgery or as a different step, on acute cholecystitis, and which strategy has the least complications and morbimortality.
Methods: Various databases (PubMed, Embase, Scopus, Web of Science, Science Direct, Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, CINAHL, Latin American and Caribbean Health Sciences Literature, clinical trials, Google Scholar) were searched for randomized trials comparing the different timings for ERCP and cholecystectomy. No language or time restrictions were applied.

Introduction: Periampullary diverticulum (PAD) is frequently discovered in patients undergoing endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP). Studies have yielded conflicting results regarding its impact on the technical success of ERCP and post-ERCP complications.
Aim: This study aims to assess the success and safety of ERCP in patients with PAD.
