Endoscopic Ultrasound-Guided Pancreatic Duct Intervention
نویسندگان
چکیده
Endoscopic ultrasound-guided pancreatic duct intervention (EUS-PDI) is an emerging endoscopic approach allowing access and intervention to the pancreatic duct (PD) for patients with failed endoscopic retrograde pancreatography (ERP) or patients with surgically altered anatomy. As opposed to biliary drainage for which percutaneous drainage is an alternative following failed endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP), the treatment options after failed ERP are very limited. Therefore, endoscopic ultrasound (EUS)-guided access to the PD and options for subsequent drainage may play an important role as an alternative to surgical intervention. However, this approach is technically demanding with a high risk of complications, and should only be performed by highly experienced endoscopists. In this review, we describe an overview of the current endoscopic approaches, basic technical tips, and outcomes using these procedures.

Endoscopic ultrasound-guided pancreaticogastrostomy for symptomatic pancreatic duct obstruction caused by migrated pancreatic stent
Endoscopic pancreatic stenting has been widely used in various pancreatic conditions. With the increasing use of pancreatic stents, many complications have been recognized. Especially, proximal stent migration presents a serious condition because of subsequent pancreatic duct obstruction, impaired drainage, ductal dilation, and pancreatic pain. Although endoscopic retrieval is the preferred tre...

Both patients were then referred for endosonographic evaluation. Endoscopic ultrasound showed occ...
متن کاملEndoscopic Ultrasound-Guided Drainage of Pancreatic Fluid Collections (with Video)
Endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) is often used to guide drainage of pancreatic fluid collections (PFCs). EUS enhances the diagnosis of cystic pancreatic lesions and enables real-time image-guided control of PFC drainage. EUS may facilitate the endoscopic treatment of patients with pancreatic necrosis and patients with disconnected pancreatic duct syndrome.

Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) is the standard procedure for biliary drainage (BD) in patients with benign or malignant biliary obstruction. [1] Therapeutic ERCP requires deep cannulation into the common bile duct (CBD), the success rate of deep cannulation is high, but still not perfect, even with the use of advanced cannulation techniques such as precut sphincterotomy.[...
