| pubmed-article:9540874 | pubmed:abstractText | Pancreatitis is a potential problem in patients undergoing endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP). Natural somatostatin reduces pancreatic secretion and has been administered in acute pancreatitis. To establish whether an injection of a single "bolus" of natural somatostatin is useful in preventing pancreatic reactions after endoscopic pancreatography, a randomized study was carried out in 160 patients undergoing pancreatography, associated or not, with endoscopic sphincterotomy. | lld:pubmed |
