Core Tip Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography is an important technique for the diagnosis and treatment of pancreaticobiliary disorders. Post-endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography pancreatitis (PEP) is the most prevalent complication relating to endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography. Rectal nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs and prophylactic pancreatic stent insertion remain advised for its prevention. The administration of lactated Ringer’s solution (LR) plays an important part in preventing pancreatic necrosis and organ failure by sustaining steady pancreatic microcirculation. This randomized, double-blind, controlled study showed that the infusion of LR combined with rectal indomethacin (IND) may decrease the occurrence of PEP and post-procedure readmission in high-risk patients, compared to LR or IND administered separately.
