Efficacy of Prophylactic Epinephrine Solution Injection in Prevention of Delayed Post-sphincterotomy
Sponsor: Wen-Hsin Huang
Summary
Bleeding is the most frequently reported serious complication of endoscopic sphincterotomy, and severe bleeding has occurred in about 1% to 2% of patients. Endoscopic injection of epinephrine is the most commonly used, effective, and least expensive method for the management of post- sphincterotomy bleeding. However, the efficacy of prophylactic saline-epinephrine solution injection to prevent delayed EST bleeding when transient bleeding During ERCP has not been established.
