Endoscopic sphincterotomy (ES) and papillectomy (EP) are associated with a non‐negligible risk of post‐procedural bleeding. Despite first‐line endoscopic hemostasis being achieved by several methods, patients may experience bleeding persistence or recurrence. In such cases, fibrin glue (FG) injection may be used as a rescue therapy before more invasive approaches. The aim of this study was to evaluate the efficacy and safety of endoscopic FG injection to treat refractory post‐ES and post‐EP bleeding.
