Key Words	Acute cholangitis; Complications; Endoscopic sphincterotomy
Core Tip	Immediate endoscopic sphincterotomy (EST) can be as safe as elective EST for patients with acute suppurative cholangitis associated with choledocholithiasis, because there were no complications associated with EST in either group of patients, although white blood cell count, C-reactive protein, total bilirubin, and serum concentrations of liver enzymes just before EST were significantly higher in the immediate EST group (n = 59) than in the elective EST group (n = 28). Moreover, the procedure was safely performed by a trainee under the supervision of an experienced specialist.
