ERCP failure occurs when the physician cannot successfully insert the endoscope all the way through to the proper site. The Papilla of Vater, the place in the small intestine where the biliary duct and the pancreatic duct meet, is the site at which physicians stop the endoscope. Reasons for Failed ERCP.
In some cases of failed ERCP, surgery may be the best alternative. There are many different types of surgery available, depending on the specific issue. Laparoscopic surgery may also be an alternative to open surgery, reducing the invasiveness and risk factor. “ERCP.” National Digestive Diseases Information Clearinghouse (NDDIC).
K91- Intraoperative and postprocedural complications and disorders of digestive system, not elsewhere classified K91.89 is a billable/specific ICD-10-CM code that can be used to indicate a diagnosis for reimbursement purposes.
When ERCP fails because of the inability to cannulate the bile duct or malignant obstruction of the duodenum, where papilla are not accessible, PTBD has been the alternative therapy. Although PTBD has been proven very useful in the past, the decision to apply EUS must be considered very carefully.

Difficulties leading to a failed ERCP procedure may involve: 1 Blockage of passageways by tumors 2 Altered anatomy due to previous surgery 3 Duodenal stenosis, a rare birth defect causing a narrowing in the small intestine 4 Intestinal pocket
In some cases of failed ERCP, surgery may be the best alternative. There are many different types of surgery available, depending on the specific issue. Laparoscopic surgery may also be an alternative to open surgery, reducing the invasiveness and risk factor.
Magnetic Resonance Cholangiopancreatography, or MRCP, can be used in place of ERCP for diagnostic purposes. MRCP is a non-invasive procedure, so the risks of surgery are still avoided. During MRCP, magnetic images are taken of the biliary ducts in order to pinpoint obstructions or restrictions. There are mixed reviews on whether MRCP is as effective as ERCP.
Endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) guided rendezvous is a procedure that involves threading a needle through the biliary duct and using it to guide a wire into the duodenum, whereupon ERCP can be performed. Although this procedure has shown to be safe and effective in most cases, the high cost of the procedure and the high skill level required are deterrent.
