Introduction

Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) is still the subject of intensive clinical research. This year, new data were presented during the Digestive Disease Week (DDW) on biliary stenting, as well as ERCP-associated complications and methods of prevention. In addition, several abstracts discussed the use of combined ERCP and endoscopic ultrasonography (EUS) techniques for diagnostic and therapeutic management in biliary and pancreatic diseases. This review highlights the most relevant studies, which will be reported in detail. The remaining abstracts are cited as references, and in some cases summarized in the tables.
