What is an ercp medical procedure?
This one's a mouthful. An ERCP (endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography) is a procedure that introduces substances backwards through the bile and pancreatic ducts via a colonoscopy to determine if there are any blockages in these ducts. The substances are radio-opaque so help visualize gallstones or narrowing of ducts under X-ray.
WHAT Type of contrast IS used during ercp's?
In ERCP (Endoscopic Retrograde Cholangiopancreatography), the contrast agent used is typically iodine-based. This type of contrast helps highlight the bile ducts and pancreatic ducts on X-ray images taken during the procedure, allowing the healthcare provider to identify any abnormalities or blockages.
What are normal results of ERCP?
In more than 90% of patients, the placement of a biliary stent relieves the obstruction and allows the bile duct to drain properly.
