post-sphyncterotomy endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) bleeding is an adverse event with an estimated incidence rate of 1.34%. There is no established consensus about how to treat this particular type of gastrointestinal bleed. Placement of fully covered self-expandable biliary metal stents (FCSEBMS) has been evaluated as an alternative treatment with positive outcomes and a low complication rate.
