Summary

This study tested whether doing an early endoscopic ultrasound and removing any gallstones from the bile duct could help people with severe pancreatitis caused by gallstones. The trial planned to enroll many patients but was stopped early after only 27 participants. The main goal was to see if this early procedure improved organ failure scores after 8 days compared to standard care without the procedure.
