Clinical Trial Summary

In this retrospective study, the investigators evaluate the relationship of post-ERCP-choledocholithiasis(PEC ) and the gallbladder status as a risk factor.

Description:

When patients have common bile duct(CBD) stones, ERCP is widely used for stone extraction instead of clinical operation. ERCP has many advantages like less injury or faster recovery. However, according to literature, ERCP will has a mostly 10% possibility to get an acute purulent cholecystitis, which often requires emergency intervention, therefore, it is necessary to know if the gallbladder status(chronic disease) is one of the important risk factors of PEC like the gallbladder wall thickness, chronic cholecystitis, polyps,crudely or calculus. .

Outcome

Type	Measure	Description	Time frame	Safety issue
Primary	Number of Acute PEC(post-ERCP-cholecystitis )	When the PEC occurs, the temperature should be more than 38 celsius degree, right upper abdominal pain, the total amount of the White Blood Cell (WBC) is above normal for the patients who with the gallbladder wall thickness under ultrasound examination.	1 month
Secondary	Number of Participants with Pancreatitis	Typical abdominal pain, with the level of serum amylase increasing at least 3 times of the normal range within 24 hours after ERCP.	1 month
Secondary	Number of Participants with Cholangitis	Temperature should be more than 38 celsius degree, chills, with right upper abdominal pain, blood routine showing the total amount of the White Blood Cell (WBC), and the amount of polymorphonuclear neutrophil(PMN) are above normal	1 month
Secondary	Number of Participants with Perforation	Typical abdominal pain,abdominal muscle tension, and there are also radiographic evidence suggesting	1 month
Secondary	Number of Participants with bile duct stents	If it is necessary to get the patients drainage, Number of Participants with stents or endoscopic nasobiliary drainage (ENBD) should be recorded	1 month
