If Chronic Gallbladder Diseases Increase the Incidence of PEC
If Chronic Gallbladder Diseases Increase the Incidence of PEC
This is a prospective, multi-centre trial conducts at 4 ERCP centers in China designed to
 determine if chronic gallbladder diseases increase the incidence of Post-Endoscopic
 Retrograde Choledochopancreatography-Choledocholithiasis (PEC）
Endoscopic Retrograde Choledochopancreatography(ERCP) has the advantages of less injury and
 faster recovery for common bile duct stone patients. However, according to our retrospective
 study, ERCP will has a mostly 10% possibility to get an acute purulent cholecystitis which
 often requires emergency intervention, when patients combined with chronic gallbladder
 diseases, such as chronic cholecystitis, asymptomatic gallstones, and gallbladder wall
 thickness, the incidence of PEC will increase accordingly. The aim of this study is to
 observe if chronic gallbladder disease will increase the occurence of PEC and develop a
 high-risk PEC model.
