Acute pancreatitis represents the most common complication after ERCP. The reported incidence of this complication varies from less than 1% to 40%, but rates of about 10% are reported in most prospective studies involving non-selected patients. Although most episodes (about 90%) of post-ERCP
Myocardial ischemia is one on the leading causes of mortality and morbidity in the United States. The initial injury to the myocardium is due to a state of imbalance when oxygen demand exceeds supply. This is most pronounced in the cases of sudden total occlusion of a coronary artery that results in
HIV infection has been associated with an increased prevalence of pulmonary hypertension. In addition, recent data suggests that a state of endothelial dysfunction develops in HIV disease secondary to anti-retroviral therapy and associated dyslipidemia or secondary to direct viral infection of the
