Research Article: The Clinical Presentations of Liver Abscess Development After Endoscopic Retrograde Cholangiopancreatography with Choledocholithiasis: A -Year Follow-Up

Date Published: 2023-09-13

Abstract:
The standard management for bile duct stones involves the use of ERCP with ES as the widely accepted procedure., Despite its overall safety profile, ERCP with ES is not completely free from the risk of complications. Although uncommon, the development of liver abscess is recognized as a late but potentially life-threatening complication of ERCP, particularly in patients who have a compromised barrier between the hepatobiliary system and duodenum following ES., Given the low occurrence rate of liver abscess following ERCP for choledocholithiasis, our prior research has primarily concentrated on investigating its prevalence and risk factors. However, limited attention has been directed towards exploring the clinical presentations of liver abscesses in these patients, which would aid in comprehending the symptoms and facilitating early diagnosis.
