If pregnant can have ercp done?

ERCP can be done while pregnant but should only be done if absolutely necessary for therapeutic reasons. Main risks include pancreatitis (which could be devastating for the fetus), radiation exposure for the fetus as well as the complications normally expected during ERCP (i.e from sedation, contrast etc.) There are usually better options than ERCP for diagnostic purposes such as MRCP or EUS.


What are the problems after ercp?

After an Endoscopic Retrograde Cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) procedure, patients may experience complications such as pancreatitis, which is inflammation of the pancreas, and bleeding from the site of the procedure. There is also a risk of perforation of the gastrointestinal tract or infection, such as cholangitis. Additionally, patients may experience abdominal pain or discomfort and, in rare cases, an allergic reaction to the contrast dye used during the procedure. Close monitoring is essential to address any complications promptly.
