Evolution of cholestasis after ERCP are plastic stents better in cholangitis?

Endoscopic Retrograde Cholangial-Pancreatography (ERCP) combine endoscopy and fluoroscopy for the diagnosis and, above all, treatment of biliary-pancreatic disorders, particularly obstructive jaundice of the bile ducts. The resolution of jaundice/ decrease of cholestasis after ERCP is a marker of treatment efficacy, but only few studies have examined the kinetic of cholestasis. The aim of our work is to study the evolutionary kinetics of cholestasis after ERCP.
