title: Pancreatic and biliary pressure changes during ERCP.
abstract: Injection of contrast is a prerequisite for endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography. Such injection into the biliary and pancreatic duct systems may require considerable force. This paper reports the changes in pressure that result within the duct systems and highlights the significant pressure rise that occurs within the pancreatic duct.
