Abstract
Iodine contrast media are detectable in the bloodstream after ERCP, and sensitivity reactions have been described. The risk is very small, and the phenomenon is therefore difficult to study. This review discusses the possible need for preventative strategies, and recommends that endoscopists consider the issue and define their own policies.
