This trial tests whether a one-time epinephrine medicine injection can help prevent delayed bleeding after an ERCP procedure called sphincterotomy. You may be considered if you had only brief bleeding right after the procedure and you don’t have certain bleeding-risk conditions.
This trial tests two medications—tranexamic acid and sucralfate—applied during an endoscopy (a camera procedure) to stop bleeding caused by tumors in the upper digestive tract. The goal is to see which treatment works better at controlling the bleeding.
This trial tests whether placing a temporary stent in the bile duct after stone removal helps prevent new stones from forming while you wait for gallbladder surgery. It may reduce the chance of needing another procedure.
This study tests whether placing a small tube (prosthesis) in the pancreas before removing gallbladder and bile duct stones during ERCP can prevent pancreatitis. It is for people with small gallbladder stones and bile duct stones who are at higher risk for pancreatitis after the procedure.
This trial tests a one-time procedure that removes stones from both the gallbladder and the bile duct. It may help people who need both surgeries or who couldn't be treated with endoscopy alone.
This trial tests whether spraying a medicine called sucralfate on the area where a large polyp was removed can lower the risk of delayed bleeding. It is for people who take blood thinners and are having large polyps removed during a colonoscopy.
