Abstract
During endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography, pressures of the common bile duct, the pancreatic duct and the sphincter of Oddi were recorded in 64 patients with various diseases of the pancreaticobiliary system. The manometric study was found to be helpful in the diagnosis of papillary dysfunction and in the assessnment of the adequacy of papillotomy and the size of a choledochoduodenostomy. Furthermore, it is possible that nitrates may be effective in the treatment of patients with papillary dysfunction.
