Gallbladder woes may complicate ERCP recovery, study finds
NCT ID NCT04242394
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This completed study followed over 1,000 people who had an ERCP procedure to see if having chronic gallbladder disease increases the chance of complications like infection or inflammation. Researchers tracked issues such as post-ERCP cholecystitis, pancreatitis, and cholangitis. The goal is to help doctors better predict and manage risks for patients with gallbladder problems.

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could help doctors identify patients at higher risk for post-ERCP complications, leading to better monitoring or preventive care.
- What could go wrong
- This is an observational study, not a treatment trial, so it won't directly lead to a new therapy. Results may not apply to all populations or settings.
