Abstract:To investigate the risk factors of hemobilia after treatment of endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography. Methods A retrospective analysis was made of the clinical data of 285 patients who were treated by therapeutic ERCP. They were divided into the hemorrhage group and the non-hemorrhage group according to whether the patients suffered hemobilia after treatment of ERCP. And the risk factors of hemobilia were analyzed. Results 23 patients suffered hemobilia in the 285 cases who were treated by ERCP, the incidence rate was 8.07%. The proportion of cholangiocarcinoma, ampullary cancer and pancreatic head cancer in the hemorrhage group was higher than that in the non-hemorrhage group (P < 0.05). The incidence of biliary tract infection and duodenal nipple diverticulum in the hemorrhage group was higher than that in the non-hemorrhage group (P < 0.05). Subgroup analysis showed that patients with stone diameter ≥2?cm, stone incarceration and the duodenal papilla into diverticulum in the hemorrhage group were significantly higher than that in the non-hemorrhage group (P < 0.05). Conclusion Hemobilia is a common complication after therapeutic ERCP. Common malignant biliary and pancreatic cancer, bile duct stone diameter ≥2 cm, stone incarceration and duodenal papilla into diverticulum were risk factors of hemobilia after treatment of ERCP, and the risk of postoperative hemobilia can be reduced by strengthening the perioperative management for it.
