Narrowing of the Bile Ducts Due to AIDS
Treatment
Surgery Antimicrobial medications During Endoscopic Retrograde Cholangiopancreatography (ERCP), a surgical instrument is passed through the endoscope and used to cut the sphincter of Oddi—a procedure called endoscopic sphincterotomy. Cutting the sphincter of Oddi allows bile to pass into the small intestine. This procedure helps relieve pain, jaundice, and inflammation. If only one part of a duct is narrowed, a tube may be passed through the endoscope and placed in the affected spot to widen it. Antimicrobial medications are given to treat the infection. Antiretroviral medication to treat AIDS can prevent future opportunistic infections.
