Secondary sclerosing cholangitis after long-term treatment in an Intensive care unit: clinical presentation, endoscopic findings, treatment, and follow-up

Abstract

The development of secondary sclerosing cholangitis in patients who have received long-term treatment in an ICU is a rare event of unknown pathophysiology, but patients demonstrate characteristic findings on ERCP. It is not known whether endotherapy can delay the progress of the condition in the long term.
