Core Tip	We retrospectively evaluated the efficacy and safety of emergency endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) in elderly patients with acute cholangitis. Patients who have undergone emergency ERCPs were classified as elderly group aged 80 years and older (n = 102) or controls under the age of 80 years (n = 105). The frequency of comorbidities was higher in the elderly group than the control group. However, there was no significant difference in the technical success rates, endoscopic procedure durations and ERCP-related complications between the two groups. There was no mortality during the observational periods. Emergency ERCP for acute cholangitis can be performed safely even in elderly patients.
