Abstract
Background To investigate the efficacy and safety of endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) in elderly choledocholithiasis patients compared with younger groups. Methods This was a case-control study conducted from January 2018 to December 2020 at Fuyang People's Hospital, with 596 patients included. Patients who underwent ERCP were classified as two groups based on age stratification definitions from the National Institute of Health and the World Health Organisation: Patients <75 ages (n = 204) and patients ≥75 ages (n = 392). Demographic characteristics, details of endoscopic therapy, complications were retrospectively reviewed and compared between two groups. The subgroup was pre-formed to further explore the efficacy and safety of ERCP in the elderly population. Results Between patients ≥75 ages and patients <75 ages, there were no significant differences in the complete stone removal rate and a second ERCP. Intubation difficulty (odds rate [OR]: 1.723, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.118-2.657) and longer ERCP operation time (β = 4.314, 95% CI: 2.366-6.262) were observed in the elderly group at a higher frequency than the younger group. Elder patients were more likely to have intra-operative complications (χ2 = 18.158, P < 0.001), and post-operative complications (χ2 = 8.739, P = 0.003). In the subgroup group, ERCP was efficacious and safe in elderly patients with comorbidities. Conclusions ERCP may be efficaciously performed on elderly patients. However, intra-operative and post-operative complications of ECRP should also be taken into consideration when selecting therapeutic options.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The safety of endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) for asymptomatic common bile duct (CBD) stones patients has not been thoroughly elucidated. This study attempted to compare the incidence and severity of ERCP complications in asymptomatic and symptomatic patients with CBD stones and to provide evidence for the treatment of asymptomatic CBD stones. METHODS The clinical data of patients were retrospectively analyzed. These patients were divided into the asymptomatic CBD stones group and the symptomatic CBD stones group. Propensity score matching (PSM) was used to match the two groups. The incidence and severity of postoperative complications of ERCP in the two groups were analyzed. RESULTS A total of 79 patients who had asymptomatic CBD stones and 795 patients who had symptomatic CBD stones were included in this study. After PSM, 79 patients from the asymptomatic CBD group and 316 patients from the symptomatic CBD stones group were identified. Before and after PSM, no significant differences in the incidence and severity of post-ERCP pancreatitis (PEP) were noted between the two groups (p > .05). In addition, no differences in the incidence and severity of other complications, including acute cholangitis, bleeding and perforation, between the two groups were observed before and after PSM (p > .05). CONCLUSIONS Patients with asymptomatic CBD stones do not exhibit an increased risk of ERCP-related complications compared with those with symptomatic CBD stones. ERCP was observed to be equally safe and efficacious for patients with asymptomatic versus symptomatic CBD stones.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Difficult cannulation during endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) is associated with increased complications; therefore, its prediction is important. PURPOSE To identify radiologic risk factors of difficult cannulation during ERCP based on computed tomography (CT) findings and to develop a predictive model for a difficult cannulation. MATERIAL AND METHODS A total of 171 patients with native papilla who underwent both enhanced CT and ERCP were recruited. Two radiologists independently measured the distal common bile duct (CBD) diameter and choledochoduodenal (CD) angle and analyzed CT images for presence of CBD stone and papilla bulging, size and type of periampullary diverticulum (PAD), and duodenal segment in which major papilla was located. Multivariate logistic regression analysis and decision-tree analysis were performed to identify risk factors for difficult cannulation. RESULTS Thirty-nine patients underwent a difficult cannulation. The multivariate logistic regression analysis revealed that a smaller CBD diameter, presence of papilla bulging, location of the major papilla other than the descending duodenum, a smaller CD angle, and a higher worrisome PAD score were statistically relevant factors for difficult cannulation (P < 0.049). In the decision-tree analysis, a higher worrisome PAD score was the strongest predictor of difficult cannulation, followed by the presence of papilla bulging, smaller CD angle, and a smaller CBD diameter. The predictive model had an 82.5% overall predictive accuracy. CONCLUSION The CT findings-based decision-tree analysis model showed a high accuracy in predicting cannulation difficulty and may be helpful for making pre-ERCP strategy.

Impact of periampullary diverticulum on biliary cannulation and ERCP outcomes: a single-center experience. Surg Endosc 2020; 35:5953-5961. [PMID: 33029732 DOI: 10.1007/s00464-020-08080-8] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/20/2020] [Accepted: 10/01/2020] [Indexed: 12/15/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Periampullary diverticulum (PAD) is frequently come upon during endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP), especially in elderly patients. However, less is known about the role of PAD in biliary cannulation difficulty. AIM This study aims to investigate the association of PAD and difficult cannulation and evaluate the impact of different types of PAD on the cannulation success rate and adverse events. METHODS Prospectively collected data on a total of 636 patients who underwent endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) were divided into two groups based on the presence or absence of PAD. Besides, the patients were classified based on the PAD types into three groups. The primary outcomes were cannulation success rate, cannulation time, and ERCP-related adverse events. Further, the difficult cannulation and presence of PAD were analyzed using logistic regression models. RESULTS Significant higher rates of biliary stones, cholangitis, and biliary pancreatitis were observed in the PAD group. Successful selective cannulation was achieved in 97.6% in the PAD group and 95.3% in the control group. The cannulation time was significantly longer in the presence of PAD. There was no significant difference in the rate of overall adverse events and post-ERCP pancreatic PEP. Multivariate analysis showed that type 1 PAD, biliary stones, and cholangitis were factors related to difficult cannulation. CONCLUSION The presence of PAD did not affect the duration or success of the ERCP procedure. However, it was associated with longer cannulation time and an increase in the cannulation difficulty, especially with PAD type 1. Clinical Trial Study Registration This study is approved by Nanjing Medical University and registered at ClinicalTrial.gov PRS with ID/NCT03771547/.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Different types of periampullary diverticulum (PAD) may differentially affect the success of endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) cannulation, but the clinical significance of the two current PAD classifications for cannulation is limited.
AIM To verify the clinical value of our newly proposed PAD classification.
METHODS A new PAD classification (Li-Tanaka classification) was proposed at our center. All PAD patients with native papillae who underwent ERCP from January 2012 to December 2017 were classified according to three classification systems, and the effects of various types of PAD on ERCP cannulation were compared.
RESULTS A total of 3564 patients with native papillae were enrolled, including 967 (27.13%) PAD patients and 2597 (72.87%) non-PAD patients. In the Li-Tanaka classification, type I PAD patients exhibited the highest difficult cannulation rate (23.1%, P = 0.01), and type II and IV patients had the highest cannulation success rates (99.4% in type II and 99.3% in type IV, P < 0.001). In a multivariable-adjusted logistic model, the overall successful cannulation rate in PAD patients was higher than that in non-PAD patients [odds ratio (OR) = 1.87, 95% confidence interval (CI): 1.04-3037, P = 0.037]. In addition, compared to the non-PAD group, the difficulty of cannulation in the type I PAD group according to the Li-Tanaka classification was greater (OR = 2.04, 95%CI: 1.13-3.68, P = 0.004), and the successful cannulation rate was lower (OR = 0.27, 95%CI: 0.11-0.66, P < 0.001), while it was higher in the type II PAD group (OR = 4.44, 95%CI: 1.61-12.29, P < 0.01).
CONCLUSION Among the three PAD classifications, the Li-Tanaka classification has an obvious clinical advantage for ERCP cannulation, and it is helpful for evaluating potentially difficult and successful cannulation cases among different types of PAD patients.

Abstract
Research conclusions differ on the impact of periampullary diverticulum (PAD) on endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP). An up-to-date meta-analysis evaluated the role of PAD in ERCP, especially in terms of cannulation failure and early complications. A comprehensive literature search was performed. All statistical analyses were carried out with the Review Manager 5.3 software. Horizontal lines represented a 95% confidence interval (CI) and the area of each square in forest plots. Twenty-six studies including 23 826 patients with or without PAD who underwent ERCP were evaluated. PAD was associated with an increase in the overall cannulation failure rate (RR=1.46, 95% CI: 1.27-1.67; p<.00001), but in the subgroup of studies performed post-2000, PAD was irrelevant to cannulation failure (RR=1.16, 95% CI: 0.96-1.41; p=0.12). In overall analyses, PAD was also associated with a high risk of ERCP-related pancreatitis (RR=1.32, 95% CI: 1.10-1.59; p=0.003), perforation (RR=1.73, 95% CI: 1.06-2.82; p=0.030), and bleeding (RR=1.48, 95% CI: 1.13-1.93; p=0.005). The presence of PAD increased the overall cannulation failure rate, but not the rate post-2000. PAD also affected the occurrence of early pancreatitis, perforation, and bleeding.

Abstract
Background/Aims Periampullary diverticulum (PAD) is frequently encountered during endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) and has been associated with stone formation in the bile duct. The effects of PAD on the ERCP procedure have been often debated. We aimed to compare the therapeutic success of ERCP between patients with PAD and matched controls.
Methods We reviewed all ERCPs with findings of PAD in a national database (n=1,089) and compared them with age- and gendermatched controls in a 1:3 fashion (n=3,267). Demographics, endoscopic findings, visualization of main structures, and therapeutic success rates were compared between groups. Secondary analysis compared PAD cases and controls who had gallstone disease.
Results The average cohort age was 68.4±14.3 years and 55.1% were male. ERCP success was similar in both groups, and no significant inter-group differences were found in the multivariate analysis. The presence of PAD did not affect the rates of sphincterotomy or visualization of main biliary structures. Secondary analysis showed similar success rates for gallstone removal between patients with PAD and controls.
Conclusions PAD may not be considered a hinderance to ERCP success. Further research is needed to determine the best approach to cannulate the ampulla and provide endoscopic therapy for different subtypes of PAD.

Abstract
AIM To investigate the association of periampullary diverticula (PAD) with pancreaticobiliary diseases as well as the impact of PAD on the technical success and complications of endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP).
METHODS A total of 1455 consecutive patients who underwent ERCP from January 2016 to December 2016 at The First Affiliated Hospital of Nanchang University were analyzed retrospectively. The patients were divided into a PAD group (n = 293) and a non-PAD group (n = 1162) according to the presence or absence of PAD. The rate of pancreaticobiliary diseases was analyzed and compared between the PAD group and non-PAD group, and the technical success rate of ERCP and the incidence of postoperative complications were also compared.
RESULTS The rate of PAD increased with age (P < 0.05). The incidence rates of suppurative cholangitis and acute pancreatitis (AP) and carcinoma of the pancreatic head in patients with PAD were significantly higher than those in patients without (P < 0.05). The rates of postoperative complications, such as hemorrhage, perforation, post-ERCP pancreatitis (PEP) and hyperamylasemia, were significantly higher in patients with PAD (P < 0.05). No significant differences was observed in the success rate of ERCP (P > 0.05).
CONCLUSION PAD is associated with an increased rate of pancreaticobiliary diseases as well as the occurrence of postoperative complications of ERCP. However, the presence of PAD dose not affect the technical success rate of ERCP.

Abstract
Introduction Periampullary diverticula (PD) is caused by extraluminal pouching of duodenal mucosa. Using a very common endoscopic procedure to diagnose or treat gastrointestinal disorders, we encountered duodenal diverticulum. Materials and methods This is a retrospective, single-center study. Three thousand and sixteen patients on whom endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) was performed at Ankara University Medical School, Department of Gastroenterology, from June 2009 to June 2014 were included to the study. Results Hundred and thirty patients (males 65, females 65) among the 3,016 had PD. Two hundred and sixty patients without diverticulum were randomly chosen from the 3,016 patients, as a control group [121 (47%) females, 139 (53%) males]. There was no statistical difference between the two groups. The mean age of the patients with PD was 69.9 years, while the mean age was 62.3 years for patients without PD (p < 0.001). Incidence for PD was 4.6%. The papilla of Vater was located in the inter-diverticular area (Type 1) in 9 patients (8.3%), at the edge of the diverticulum (Type 2) in 31 patients (28.4%), and at a distance of 2 to 3 cm from the papilla (Type 3) in 69 patients (63.3%). Discussion Although numerically more common bile duct stones occurred in patients with PD compared to those without PD, there was no statistical difference between the two groups. The rate of pancreato-biliary carcinomas was higher in patients without diverticulum. Cannulation was successful in both groups at the rate of 97.6 and 92% respectively, but cannulation failed more often in patients without PD. Duodenal perforation occurred in one patient with PD. Bleeding after sphincterotomy occurred in two patients without PD. How to cite this article Örmeci N, Deda X, Kalkan Ç, Tüzün AE, Karakaya F, Dökmeci A, Bahar DK, Özkan H, İdilman R, Çınar K.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) is generally recommended for removal of CBD stones. There were no studies focusing on the role of symptoms related to CBD stone in performing endoscopic stone removal. The aim of our study was to compare outcomes and complications of ERCP between asymptomatic and symptomatic CBD stones. METHODS The medical records of 568 patients with naïve papilla who underwent ERCP for treatment of CBD stone from Jan 2009 to Aug 2014 were reviewed and analyzed retrospectively. Patients were divided as asymptomatic group (n = 32) and symptomatic group (n = 536). RESULTS Age and gender were not significantly different between the two groups (p > 0.005). Mean sizes of CBD and CBD stones were not significantly different between asymptomatic and symptomatic group (p > 0.05). No differences in performance of needle knife fistulotomy, endoscopic sphincterotomy, and endoscopic papillary balloon dilatation were observed between the two groups (p > 0.05). Unintentional injection into the pancreatic duct was not significantly different between the two groups (p > 0.05). The overall complete stone removal rate was 96.9 % in the asymptomatic group and 94.4 % in the symptomatic group (p = 0.295). Requirement of mechanical lithotripsy was not significantly different between asymptomatic and symptomatic group (18.8 vs 8.4 %, p = 0.057). Significantly higher incidence of post-ERCP pancreatitis was observed in the asymptomatic group than in the symptomatic group (12.5 vs 3.9 %, p = 0.045). CONCLUSION The overall success rates of CBD stone removal were comparable between asymptomatic and symptomatic patients. However, risk of post-ERCP pancreatitis appears to be increased in patients with asymptomatic CBD stones.
