ERCP-related adverse events: incidence, mechanisms, risk factors, prevention, and management.

Knowledge of ERCP-related AEs is critical not only given potential improvements in peri-procedural quality and related care that can ensue, but also given the importance of reviewing these considerations with patients during informed consent. The ERCP community and researchers should aim to apply standardized definitions of AEs. Evidence-based knowledge of ERCP risk factors should inform patient care decisions during training and beyond.
