Introduction
Acute biliary pancreatitis (ABP) is caused by a primary
common bile duct stone (CBDS) or a CBDS that has
moved from the gallbladder. Common channel, duodenal reflux, and ductal hypertension hypotheses for the
etiology of ABP are posited. CBDS passage or impaction
at the common channel can cause ABP. The treatment
strategies for ABP differ from those of other types of
acute pancreatitis (AP).
Endoscopic biliary drainage may improve the outcome, and differential diagnosis is important for patients
with AP. Abdominal ultrasound, CT, MRI/MRCP, and
endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) can be used to diagnose
CBDS. EUS has the highest detectability among these
modalities but requires an expert endoscopist and is relatively invasive. The standard of care of ABP is treatment
of AP with/without endoscopic treatment following
cholecystectomy when gallstones are detected. The timing of endoscopic and surgical treatment of ABP is controversial. Here, we summarize recent advancements in
the etiology, epidemiology, clinical features, diagnosis,
and treatment strategies (including endotherapy and
cholecystectomy) of ABP.
Etiology
Biliary pancreatitis is caused by stone passage from
the common bile duct to the duodenum through the
papilla, including the sphincter of Oddi and common
channel. Acosta and Ledesma analyzed the feces of
patients with gallstones and pancreatitis and found
gallstone in the feces of 94%. By contrast, only 8% of
patients with simple gallstone attacks without
pancreatitis had gallstones in their feces[1]. Passage
of a CBDS through the papilla may cause gallstone
pancreatitis; however, the underlying mechanism is
unclear. There are three hypotheses as to the mechanism by which gallstones cause acute pancreatitis: (i)
common channel, (ii) duodenal reflux, and (iii) ductal
hypertension.
Common Channel Theory
Opie etal. reported that a patient who died of acute pancreatitis had a stone lodged in the major duodenal
papilla of the common duct of the bile and pancreatic
ducts[2]. He proposed that the reflux of bile acids into
the pancreatic duct caused the pancreatitis. Moreover,
Opie injected bile acids into the dog pancreatic duct,
which caused inflammation in the pancreas; other studies have yielded similar results[3]. It has become apparent, however, that no more than two- thirds of the
population have such a common ductal channel [4,5]
and, in many cases, this is so short that a stone obstructing the common bile duct would also obstruct the pancreatic duct.
The common duct is more frequently found in cases
of acute biliary pancreatitis [6]. Passage of stones can
cause stenosis of the major duodenal papilla, which may
lead to functional obstruction of the common duct[7].
Because the pancreatic duct pressure is two-
to threefold higher than that of the normal bile duct, pancreatic
secretions flow into the bile duct more easily than bile
flows back into the duct. The common channel hypothesis is supported largely by the results of the abovementioned studies[8,9].

Duodenal Reflux Theory
The second hypothesis is that pancreatitis is caused by
the influx of duodenal contents into the pancreatic
duct due to the passage of a stone. This mechanism
was proposed in an animal study involving obstruction
of the duodenum. Because ligation of the pancreatic
duct did not cause pancreatitis, reflux of the contents
was considered the main cause[10]. This phenomenon
is rarely observed in humans and can cause acute pancreatitis due to obstruction after gastrectomy and duodenal or small bowel reconstruction[11,12].
However, the oblique course of the duct, the sphincter of
Oddi, and the mucosal folds around the opening suggest
that this is not the mechanism of pancreatitis. Although
the sphincter may be injured immediately or shortly after
the passage of gallstones, leading to reflux of duodenal contents, it is not thought that EST in ERCP (endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography) causes gallstone
pancreatitis or the development of pancreatitis due to
reflux of duodenal contents[13]. In a study in rats, isotonic
saline inflow into the pancreatic duct caused pancreatitis,
suggesting that pancreatitis associated with duodenal
obstruction may be related not only to reflux of duodenal
contents but also to increased intestinal pressure.
Ductal Hypertension Theory
Learch etal., using opossums[14], compared the severity
of pancreatitis in three groups: pancreatic duct alone
ligated, pancreatic duct and bile duct separately ligated,
and common duct ligated. The results showed no difference in disease severity among the groups, suggesting
that bile reflux is not essential for the development or
exacerbation of pancreatitis. Other studies have shown
that continuous stimulation of secretion in the presence
of pancreatic duct obstruction worsens pancreatitis[15].
When the obstruction of the pancreatic duct was
released, the pancreatitis improved[16].
When pancreatic secretion is stimulated by obstruction
of the pancreatic duct, it causes an increase in intraductal
pressure. Although rare, increased intraductal pressure
can also be caused by, for instance, duodenal papillary
tumors, parasitic infections, and ERCP. Injections of various compounds into the pancreatic duct at high pressure
can cause pancreatitis, and the injection pressure is more
related to the development of pancreatitis than the
absence of injected material [3]. The mechanism is
thought to be rupture of the branched pancreatic duct and
leakage of secretions into the interstitium or inhibition of
secretion of pancreatic juice into the ductal lumen.
After ligation of the pancreatic duct, changes first
occur within the glandular cells rather than in the
stroma or around the pancreatic duct. High pressure in
the lumen of the gland causes exocytosis of zymogens
and inhibits the release of Ca ions from the gland cell
membrane[17]. Disruption of the cell membrane and
its transporter channels inhibits the recovery of Ca ion
concentration that occurs after stimulation of CCK. An
increase in calcium ion concentration in the entire
glandular cell leads to intracellular activation of trypsin,
which in turn activates various proteases, leading to
digestion by pancreatic enzymes. CCK stimulation
selfcompounds the effect of ductal obstruction [16,18].
Disruption of acinar Ca
2+
signaling is a key early event
in the initiation of intra- acinar enzyme activation[19].
Experimentally, pancreatic duct obstruction causes
inhibition of calcium ion signaling[20,21].
These three hypotheses are considered to be related
in a complex way, as opposed to one being considered
most likely. The development of acute pancreatitis may
involve a combination of factors, because obstruction
alone often causes biliary complications rather than
pancreatitis. When gallstone passage occurs in patients
with common ducts, pancreatitis is induced. However,
once the stones are cleared, the activated pancreatic
enzymes are drained and the pancreas recovers. As a
result, only mild pancreatitis occurs clinically. Most
cases will be mild, but in rare cases the flow of pancreatic juice, which is rich in digestive enzymes, may
become obstructed, causing severe pancreatitis. Even if
the stone is passed, severe disease typically develops.
Secondary obstruction may be due to edema of the
pancreatic head or papillae after the passage of gallstones. Temporary obstruction of the pancreatic duct by
multiple small stones has been reported. Large stones
falling into the distal bile duct or papillary region can
cause obstruction of the pancreatic duct. If this occurs in
stages, it suggests that there is a possibility of preventing
further obstruction in the early stages and preventing
severe pancreatitis.
Epidemiology
Alcohol and gallstones are the two major causes of acute
pancreatitis. In a 2016 survey in Japan, alcoholic was the
most common cause (42.8%), followed by gallstone
(19.8%) and idiopathic (16.2%) pancreatitis in males. In
women, cholelithiasis was the most common (37.7%),
followed by idiopathic (24.8%) and alcoholic (12.0%)
pancreatitis. Alcoholic pancreatitis was more common
among those in their 40s, and gallstone pancreatitis was
more common among older adults [22]. Regarding the
size of the stones, small stones have a higher risk of pancreatitis. Diehl et al. reported a fourfold increase in the
incidence of pancreatitis if the stone diameter was less
than 5 mm[23].

https://t.me/medicina_free
In the Japanese report, about 60% of patients had
passed stones and only about 25% had bile duct
stones of 6 mm or more in diameter. Elevated serum
pancreatic enzymes were common in patients with
small stones. Also, about 70% of severe pancreatitis
was due to naturally passed stones. These factors
suggest that small bile duct stones are more likely to
induce pancreatitis. Large stones are more likely to
obstruct the bile duct before falling into the anatomically common duct, whereas small stones are more
likely to fall into the common duct and cause pancreatic duct obstruction.
Clinical Features
It has been reported that 15% of acute pancreatitis develops into severe acute pancreatitis [24]. Gallstones and
alcohol are the most common causes of acute pancreatitis, and there are various reports on the differences in
severity and mortality. Gallstone pancreatitis is reportedly associated with more severe disease and mortality[25,26]. By contrast, ABP caused by alcohol is thought
to be more severe, and the mortality rate is higher[27–
29]. Some studies found no clear difference in clinical
course between the two groups, and no definite conclusion has been reached [30–32]. In severe pancreatitis,
intestinal bacteria migrate out of the intestinal tract at
an early stage and cause pancreatic and peripancreatic
infections. In the clinical course of acute pancreatitis,
such complications of infection are thought to worsen
the prognosis. Riity etal. reported differences in the bacterial flora of alcoholic and gallstone infections. A higher
percentage of microbes is detected in gallstone pancreatitis, with Gram- positive bacteria being more common
in alcoholic pancreatitis and gram- negative bacteria in
cholecystic pancreatitis (80% vs. 20%) [33]. A case of
severe acute biliary pancreatitis that progressed to
walled- off necrosis is presented in Fig.12.1 (Fig.12.1a, b,
c). This case required endoscopic drainage and necrosectomy because of infection.
Diagnosis ofAcute Biliary
Pancreatitis
Blood Tests
Bilirubin, AST, ALT, ALP, and gamma GTP levels
should be measured in all patients to differentiate ABP
from other- cause acute pancreatitis[34]. If the blood
ALT level is more than 150 IU/L (sensitivity 48–93%,
specificity 34–96%, positive Eudox ratio 1.4–12.0, negative Eudox ratio 1.8–4.9)[35,36], or if three or more of
the five items (bilirubin, ALP, γGTP, ALT, and ALT/
AST ratio) are abnormal (sensitivity 85%, specificity
69%, positive likelihood ratio 2.7, negative likelihood
ratio 4.6), ABP is highly suspected. When combined
with abdominal ultrasonography, it is possible to identify the cause of acute biliary pancreatitis with a sensitivity of 95–98%, specificity of 100%, positive likelihood
ratio of ∞, and negative likelihood ratio of 20.0 to
50.0[37].
Because trypsinogen 1in blood is specifically elevated
in acute biliary pancreatitis, the ratio of trypsin- 2alpha1- antitrypsin complex to trypsinogen 1in blood is
reportedly useful for identifying the etiology of ABP[38].
Abdominal Ultrasonography
If combined with blood tests, it is possible to diagnose
the etiology of acute pancreatitis with gallstones in
most cases. The probability of detecting a CBDS by
abdominal ultrasonography varies from 20% to 90%.
The absence of biliary stones or bile duct dilatation on
abdominal ultrasonography does not rule out ABP[39–
41]. If the initial examination does not reveal biliary
stones but gallstone pancreatitis is suspected, it is necessary to perform repeatedly ultrasonography or MRCP.
Computed Tomography
In many cases, biliary stones are not detected by CT
(sensitivity 40~53%), and CT is not suitable for the
diagnosis of acute biliary pancreatitis[37,41]. Calcium
bilirubinate gallstone is the most frequent CBDS, which
cannot be detected by CT because of radiolucency. If
the etiology is unclear, CT should be performed because
pancreatic cancer or intraductal papillary mucinous
tumor may be the cause of acute pancreatitis.
MRI/MRCP
Acute pancreatitis is treated differently depending on
the etiology. ERCP improves the prognosis of ABP complicated by cholestasis/cholangitis, though ERCP is contraindicated for other types of acute pancreatitis.
Therefore, it is important to distinguish ABP from other
forms of pancreatitis because of the need for different
treatment strategies.
The sensitivity of MRI/MRCP to detect CBDS is 80%,
compared with 20% and 40% for abdominal ultrasonography and CT, and MRI/MRCP is recommended to determine the indication for endoscopic papillary procedure
(ERCP/EST)[42]. Compared to ERCP, it can be used at an
earlier stage of pancreatitis because it is noninvasive and
does not require EST/EPBD, thus there is no risk of worsening

acute pancreatitis (Fig.12.2). However, if the diameter of
the bile duct is large, if there is ascites, or if the patient is
not holding their breath well, the image quality may be low,
and small stones of less than 5 mm may be missed.
Endoscopic Ultrasonography (EUS)
EUS is superior to abdominal ultrasonography in its ability to detect the common bile duct (Fig.12.3). When the
etiology is not clear on abdominal ultrasonography, EUS
can detect common bile duct stones in 59–78% of
cases [43–45]. Although ERCP and EUS are considered
the gold standards for the examination of biliary stones,
there is an RCT, which showed that ERCP sometimes
failed to detect CBDS (14%), whereas EUS was able to
detect CBDS in all patients[46]. In a prospective study of
the simultaneous diagnostic performance of EUS, MRCP,
and CT cholangiography for the detection of CBDS, their
diagnostic sensitivity was 100%, 88%, and 88%, respectively[47]. ERCP during an attack of acute pancreatitis

may worsen the inflammation. In cases of suspected ABP,
Liu etal. compared whether to perform EUS or diagnostic ERCP for the diagnosis of gallstones and CBDS.
Although there were no statistically significant differences in mortality rate, complication rate, hospital stay, or
need for intensive care, the complication rate was lower
in the EUS group (7.1%) compared with the ERCP group
(14.3%)[46]. Therefore, compared with diagnostic ERCP,
EUS is safer because it avoids unnecessary ERCP. In addition, in mild- to- moderate acute pancreatitis, the detection rate of gallstones and CBDS does not differ between
EUS and MRCP[48]. In terms of invasiveness, MRCP or
CT cholangiography (MRCP is more noninvasive in
terms of contrast media allergy) should be performed
first. If no stone is found on MRCP/CT, confirmation of
small stones by EUS may avoid unnecessary ERCP and
contribute to a lower incidence of incidental disease.
ERCP
ERCP is not always necessary for diagnosis of ABP but is
performed for its treatment. The British Society of
Figure12.4 ERCP shows multiple shade defects in the common
bile duct and common bile duct stones.
Gastroenterology guidelines recommend ERCP in the
presence of jaundice, liver damage, dilatation of the common bile duct, and strong suspected presence of CBDS
or repeated attacks of acute pancreatitis[49] (Fig.12.4).
Early ERCP in gallstone pancreatitis, which is expected
to be severe, does not significantly affect the reduction of
fatality, but does affect the reduction of complications of
acute pancreatitis[50].
Other indications for diagnostic ERCP were aspiration
and analysis of the bile juice to detect sludge/crystal in
the bile juice. Biliary sludge/crystal was difficult to detect
by other diagnostic imaging modalities including EUS
and analysis of bile juice was mandatory. Biliary sludge is
almost certainly not a cause of pancreatitis but is a common finding in patients with acute pancreatitis due to
reduction in gallbladder motility. As with gallstones, the
essential pathophysiologic mechanism is obstruction to
the pancreatic duct at the level of the ampulla of Vater.
Biliary sludge is a mixture of particulate matter that precipitates from bile, generally consisting of cholesterol
monohydrate crystals, calcium bilirubinate, and other
calcium salts embedded in mucin [51]. Biliary sludge
often coexists with gallstones[52], and it is questionable
whether the formation of sludge represents an early stage
of gallstone formation. Biliary sludge has been reported
as causing acute pancreatitis in 3.1% of cases [53],
although whether this is due to sludge per se or to associated microlithiasis is difficult to judge.

Lee etal. assessed 86 patients diagnosed with idiopathic
pancreatitis and found evidence of biliary sludge in the
majority (67%). Although the presence of biliary sludge
did not have a causal relationship with the pancreatitis,
its presence was predictive of recurrent episodes of acute
pancreatitis [54]. Bile aspiration by ERCP and microscopic observation may be diagnostically useful.
Treatment Strategy
ERCP is used to treat pancreatitis, prevent exacerbations, and improve cholangitis. The latter two uses are
controversial. Therefore, the suitability of ERCP for ABP
is determined by the presence or absence of cholangitis
or biliary obstruction. However, we experienced marked
improvement of ABP after ERCP. In such cases, the stone
was impacted at the papilla, which required the precut
technique to extract or push the impacted stone into the
bile duct using a catheter.
In other words, after the diagnosis of acute biliary pancreatitis by the tests described above, if there is no cholangitis or biliary obstruction, a standby ERCP/EST should
be performed after usual treatment for acute pancreatitis.
If there is cholangitis or obstruction of the biliary duct,
perform emergency ERCP/EST and then treat the acute
pancreatitis and subsequently perform cholecystectomy.
ERCP
Gallstone pancreatitis is caused by bile duct stones or
bile sludge in the common papillary duct, resulting in
pancreatic duct obstruction and papillary edema.
Pancreatitis severity was more than 80% in cases where
pancreatic duct obstruction due to insufficiency persisted for more than 48 hours [55]. Therefore, early
ERCP/EST may relieve pancreatic duct obstruction and
papillary edema and prevent worsening of pancreatitis
and cholangitis by pancreatic duct decompression and
bile duct drainage. However, performing ERCP/EST at
the extreme stage of acute pancreatitis may cause additional stress to, and thus worsen, the pancreatitis.
Several metaservative treatment for acute biliary pancreatitis[56–60].
Excluding cases of complications of cholangitis, all reports
showed no significant difference in mortality and complication rates between early ERCP and conservative treatment for cholelithiasis, irrespective of the degree of
pancreatitis. In 2012, Tse etal. reported [59] that early
ERCP significantly reduced the risk of mortality (RR 0.20,
95% CI 0.06~0.68), and local (RR 0.45, 95% CI 0.20~0.99)
and systemic complications (RR 0.37, 95% CI 0.18~0.78).
However, in RCTs only, excluding patients with cholangitis,
analyses compare early ERCP with con-
early ERCP tended to increase mortality (RR 1.91, 95% CI
0.85~4.30) and the incidence of local (RR 1.15, 95%
CI 0.69~1.92) and systemic complications (RR 1.02, 95% CI
0.44~2.36). In 2020, Nicolien etal. reported[61] an RCT
of early ERCP vs. conservative treatment in severe cholelithiasis without cholangitis and found no significant difference in the risk of complications or mortality. Based on
these results, routine early ERCP is not recommended for
all ABP cases. Early ERCP is recommended for patients
with or suspected of having acute cholangitis. For patients
with uncomplicated acute cholangitis, priority should be
given to treatment of acute pancreatitis.
Timing ofCholecystectomy following Acute
Biliary Pancreatitis
Recurrent pancreatitis with gallbladder stones may cause
ABP as a result of recurrent stone passage from the gallbladder to the duodenum. Cholecystectomy was performed even though CBDS were not detected by various
diagnostic modalities.
To prevent its recurrence, cholecystectomy was performed after improvement of ABP. In a study using a
Canadian database, the 6- and 12- month cumulative readmission rates for the cholecystectomy and non- extraction
groups were 4.9%, 5.6%, 12.4%, and 14.0%. In a study using
the Kaiser Permanente database (USA), the incidence of
recurrent acute pancreatitis in the ERCP/EST group without cholecystectomy and the no- treatment group was
8.2% and 17.1%, respectively. By contrast, the recurrence
rate in the cholecystectomy group was 5.4%. In cases of
acute pancreatitis with gallbladder stones, cholecystectomy should be the first choice to prevent recurrence;
however, the timing is controversial.
There are claims that early surgery is associated with a
risk of perioperative complications[62]. By contrast, there
are reports that surgery can be safely performed within 48
hours irrespective of abdominal symptoms and blood test
findings, leading to shorter hospital stays [63,64]. The
PONCHO trial, an RCT reported in the Lancet in 2015,
compared a group who underwent cholecystectomy in the
same hospital with a group who underwent standby cholecystectomy[65]. The mortality, gallstone-
related complication, and rehospitalization due to recurrent pancreatitis
rates were lower in the former group than in the latter.
However, there was no difference in the rate of transition
from laparoscopy to laparotomy. AGA recommend cholecystectomy in the same hospitalization.
There is a report of nine trials comparing early (within
48 hours) and late (after 48 hours) cholecystectomy in mild
acute cholecystic pancreatitis [66]. Early surgery reportedly
leads to shorter hospital stays without increasing the complication or mortality rate, and early surgical intervention

is desirable if the condition permits. By contrast, in the
2004 cohort, there were more infectious complications and
more postoperative complications in surgeries performed
within 5days of severe acute cholangitis onset or during
hospitalization for acute pancreatitis. In AGA, cholecystectomy is recommended in severe pancreatitis with fluid
retention around the pancreas after the fluid retention has
improved or after 6weeks if a pseudocyst has formed.

pancreatitis. In: Go VLW, Dimagno EP, Gardner JD,
Conclusion
The management of ABP is controversial. There are
various disease presentations, and we could not fully
classify the clinical features of each to establish treatment strategies. Therefore, well- designed large- scale
clinical trials are required.
