ERCP and Indomethacin - Does Indomethacin reduce post-ERCP pancreatitis risk ?

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) is a medical procedure involving upper gastrointestinal endoscopy and x-rays to treat problems of the bile and pancreatic ducts. The procedure is usually required when a patient s bile or pancreatic ducts are narrowed or blocked by tumors, gallstones and different inflammations; however it is known that the technique can also trigger certain complications such as acute pancreatitis. A new study shows that indomethacin, a cheap anti-inflammatory drug could help with the post-ERCP pancreatitis risks. To find out more about ERCP and Indometacin potential properties read this book.
