    The root cause for biliary pancreatitis is a transient impediment of the outflow of secretion from the pancreatic duct due to gallstones and sludge obstructing the ampulla of Vater. Based on meta-analyses and recent studies, clear recommendations can be formulated when and when not to perform an ERC in patients with biliary pancreatitis. ERC is indicated urgently in patients with biliary pancreatitis and concomitant cholangitis. Urgent ERC is not indicated in patients with predicted mild or severe biliary pancreatitis without cholangitis, even when stones or sludge are proven on EUS imaging. Copyright © 2023 Elsevier Inc.
