Popis: BACKGROUND Endoscopic retrograde cholangiography (ERCP) for patients aged ≥90 years is often required. The safety of ERCP for super-elderly patients is a major concern for gastrointestinal endoscopists. We retrospectively examined the safety of ERCP for super-elderly patients by comparison with patients in their 70s. MATERIAL AND METHODS We reviewed 66 patients aged ≥90 years (Group A) and 43 patients in their 70s (Group B) who underwent ERCP in our institution from January 2012 to October 2019.
