COX-2 Inhibitor to Prevent Post-ERCP Pancreatitis

Summary

Acute pancreatitis is the most common and feared complication of ERCP, occurring after 1% to 30% of procedures. Since 2012, a multicenter RCT was published in NEJM, indomethacin use in high risk patients was considered a "standard" method to prevent PEP. The mechanism of indomethacin is dependent on COX-2 inhibitor. According to data, we design the project. The purpose of this study is to determine whether COX-2 inhibitor is effective on control of Post-ERCP pancreatitis.
