【Background】The efficacy of SBE-ERC in patients with choledochojejunostomy is unkown. 【Method】We investigated retrospectively one hundred thirty seven patients with choledochojejunostomy who underwent hospitalization for acute cholangitis between June 2011 and March 2015. 【Result】The breakdown of treatment was as follows：Antibioticsgroup (n=55: 40.1％), PTBDgroup (n=13:9.5％) and SBE-ERCgroup (n=69: 50.4％). The success rate of reaching the target site was 95.7％ （66 of 69 SBE-ERC procedures） . There was no significant difference between Antibiotics group and SBE-ERC group in severity of cholangitis. The length of hospital stay was significantly shorter in SBE-ERC group 8 (4-28) days than Antibiotics group 13 (3-28) days. 【Conclusion】SBE-ERC revealed the cause of cholangitis in the patients with choledochojejunostomy and could treat the cause at the same time, thus the length of hospital stay was short.
