The divided into two age groups: <60 years (group 1) >60 2), variables of gender, examination indications, findings, success, diagnosis occurrence immediate events analyzed.177 allocated group 1 235 2. main indication found both groups was choledocholithiasis. In 2, number cases acute cholangitis (p=0.001), stenosis (p=0.002) cancer (p=0.046) higher. this group, urgent for higher (p=0.042), as well tract dilatation (p<0.001). placement prostheses most common procedure performed groups, but greatest absolute quantity occurred 1, catheterization chance achieving clearing significantly compared 2 (p=0.016, OR=2.1).The complete clearance bile duct young patients.
