Evaluation of complications after endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography using a short type double balloon endoscope in patients with altered gastrointestinal anatomy: a single‐center retrospective study of 1,576 procedures

Abstract

DB-ERCP is a safe method with a total complication rate of 5.8% that could be considered within an acceptable range. The most common complication was the injury of the digestive tract such as perforation. Affecting risk factors for complications were B-II and the presence of naïve papilla. DB-ERCP procedures should be performed carefully of these factors.
