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 etal. 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 etal., 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].

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 etal. 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 ofAcute 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 1in blood is specifically elevated
in acute biliary pancreatitis, the ratio of trypsin- 2­alpha1- antitrypsin complex to trypsinogen 1in 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].

may worsen the inflammation. In cases of suspected ABP, Liu etal. 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
Figure12.4 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 etal. 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 etal. 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 etal. 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 ofCholecystectomy 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 5days 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 6weeks if a pseudocyst has formed.
