Long-term outcome of endoscopic ultrasound-guided pancreatic duct drainage using a fully covered self-expandable metal stent for pancreaticojejunal anastomosis stricture
Journal of Gastroenterology and Hepatology Dec 17, 2019
Oh D, Park DH, Song TJ, et al. - In this investigation involving 23 individuals, researchers assessed the long-term results of endoscopic ultrasound-guided pancreatic duct drainage (EUS-PD) using a fully covered self-expandable metal stent (FCSEMS) for pancreaticojejunal anastomosis (PJA) strictures following Whipple procedures. According to the findings of EUS-guided pancreatogram and the passage of the guidewire through PJA stricture (complete vs partial stricture) after failure of endoscopic retrograde pancreatography, participants with PJA strictures underwent EUS-PD. According to findings, technical and clinical success in all patients has been achieved. Data reported that the complete and partial strictures, respectively, were 11 and 12. It was noted that the total duration of stent placement was 27.2 months and the median number of stent revision was 2. In terms of safety and effectiveness, EUS-PD with an FCSEMS demonstrated favorable success and acceptable AEs rate and durable long-term results.
