Introduction:

Acute cholangitis (AC) is a pathological condition characterized by an ascending bacterial

infection of the biliary ductal system with the obstruction caused by varies etiologies. Endoscopic retrograde

cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) is performed as a therapeutic procedure for biliary drainage in acute cholangitis

but associated with higher rates of complications respective to other endoscopic procedures. These complications

include pancreatitis, bleeding, trauma and cardiopulmonary problems.

Aim:

The aim of this study is the detection of any significant relationship between the Tokyo guideline 2018 staging

of acute cholangitis and the complications associated with the ERCP modality.

Materials & Methods:

283 patients had been diagnosed with acute cholangitis and underwent ERCP, between

January 2015 and February 2018 encountered at the Gastroenterology and Hepatology Department of Timisoara

Emergency County Hospital, 43% of the patients are males (n=122), 57% of the patients are females (n=161). The

minimal age of the patients which is 17 years old and the maximal one being 92 years old, the average age of the

patients involved in the study is 64 years old. The severity assessment and the staging of all acute cholangitis cases

were based on the TG13/18; “Grade I” (Mild) comprises 179 patients (63% of the patients), “Grade II” (Moderate)

comprises 63 patients (22 % of the patients), whereas “Grade III” (severe) comprises 41 patients (15% of patients).

Inclusion in the study was based on the diagnosis of “Acute cholangitis” in the patient’s medical charts. Subsequently,

the required data were extracted from the patient’s medical charts. Furthermore, the patients that did not undergo

therapeutic ERCP were excluded.

Results:

ERCP complications are reported only in 34 patients (12%) out of 283 which underwent ERCP. The most

common complication was post-sphincterotomy hemorrhage, observed in 17 patients (6% of the patients), acute

pancreatitis in 14 patients (5.3% of pacients), other complication in 3 patients (1.06%). According to TG18, 11 from

41 Patients with severe AC had Post ERCP complications (26.8%), 8 from 63 Patients with moderate AC (12.6%) and

15 from 179 Patients with mild AC (8.3%).

Conclusion:

ERCP is thegoldstandardandfirst line therapy for acute cholangitis in thedepartment of gastroenterology

and hepatology of the county hospital Timisoara but it remains a procedure with many complications. The TG18

could predict higher risk of complication according to the severity of AC.
