    Journal: Leber Magen Darm; 1987 Dec; 17(6):364, 367-8, 370. PubMed ID: 3431333.
    Abstract:
    In a collective series of 18,422 successful EPT, early complications occurred in 7.63% of cases with a mortality rate of 0.93%. EPT for benign stenosis of the sphincter of Oddi was followed by the highest morbidity. Late complications were observed in 5.1% of 6054 patients followed during more than 6 months, most of them during the first year of follow-up. Non surgical treatment was possible in 77.5% of early complications and 74% of late complications with respective mortality rates of 12.1% and 27.4%.
