Abstract
- Pregnancy causes alterations in bile compositions and, an increased incidence of cholelithiasis and the complications related to it. This often requires endoscopic interventions such as endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP), but the radiation exposure during the ERCP may be harmful to the fetus. We report here on a case of successful ERCP and therapeutic endoscopic intervention without fluoroscopic guidance for a pregnant woman with common bile duct stone that was complicating her biliary pancreatitis.
