An alternative pain-relief modality is celiac plexus neurolysis, in which the celiac plexus is chem...
متن کاملPain palliation by endoscopic ultrasound-guided celiac plexus neurolysis in patients with unresectable pancreatic cancer.
BACKGROUND Endoscopic ultrasound-guided celiac plexus neurolysis (EUS-CPN) represents an alternative approach to pain palliation in patients with advanced pancreatic cancer. AIM to evaluate the safety and initial efficacy of EUS-CPN in patients with painful unresectable pancreatic cancer.

We retrospectively analyzed efficacy and safety of endoscopic ultrasound- (EUS-) guided celiac plexus neurolysis in patients treated in our unit. Methods. Twenty nine subjects with unresectable pancreatic cancer and severe pain despite pharmacological treatment underwe...
متن کاملFatal complication after endoscopic ultrasound-guided celiac plexus neurolysis.
A 57-year-old woman with a diagnosis of idiopathic recurrent pancreatitis and progressive epigastric pain radiating to her back was admitted to the hospital. Abdominal computed tomography (CT) showed a suspicious 3-cm pancreatic head mass involving the superior mesenteric artery (SMA) and vein.

متن کاملCentral Is as Effective as Bilateral Endoscopic Ultrasound-Guided Celiac Plexus Neurolysis in Patients with Unresectable Pancreatic Cancer
OBJECTIVE The objective of this study is to compare the efficacy of central (single) vs bilateral (2-injections) endoscopic ultrasound (EUS)-celiac plexus neurolysis (CPN) for palliation of patients with pain related to pancreatic cancer. MATERIALS AND METHODS Patients with unresectable pancreatic cancer were included. Central EUS CPN was used in the first group and bilateral EUS CPN in the s...
