Acute pancreatitis: when is enzyme treatment indicated?

abstract：BACKGROUND:Bile duct stones (BDS) are usually removed via endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) or, if ERCP remains unsuccessful, percutaneous transhepatic cholangiodrainage (PTCD). However, PTCD provides limited access to large BDSs. We analyzed a modified approach of PTCD for percutaneous therapy of B...
