Prospective pilot study of fully covered self-expandable metal stents for refractory benign pancreatic duct strictures: long-term outcomes
Endoscopic placement of a single plastic stent (PS) to the main pancreatic duct (MPD) is awidely accepted treatment method for symptomatic strictures in patients with chronic pancreatitis [1,2]. Although adequate stent placement in the dominant stricture will relieve pain in the majority of patients [3–5], stents cannot be definitively removed in approximately one-third of patients because of p...
متن کاملEffectiveness and Safety of Endoscopic Treatment of Benign Biliary Strictures Using a New Fully Covered Self Expandable Metal Stent
Background. In patients with benign biliary strictures, the use of fully covered self-expandable metal stents (SEMS) has been proposed as an alternative to plastic stenting, but high quality prospective data are sparse. This study was performed to evaluate the long-term effectiveness and safety of a new fully covered SEMS for benign biliary strictures. Methods. All consecutive patients with ben...
متن کاملRole of Fully Covered Self-Expandable Metal Stent for Treatment of Benign Biliary Strictures and Bile Leaks
Endoscopic therapy by balloon dilation and placement of multiple large-bore plastic stents is the treatment of choice for benign biliary stricture. This approach is effective but it typically requires multiple endoscopic sessions given the short duration of stent patency. The endoscopic approach for treatment of bile leak involves the placement of a stent with or without biliary sphincterotomy....
متن کاملChronic pancreatitis with pancreatic duct stricture and calculi treated by fully covered self-expandable metal stent placement and intraductal pancreatoscopy-guided laser lithotripsy.
A 38-year-old man with chronic pancreatitis caused by heavy alcohol consumption presented with recurrent abdominal pain due to underlying pancreatic duct calculi and stricture of the main pancreatic duct (▶Fig. 1 a). Endoscopic cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) was performed and a plastic pancreatic stent was inserted, which relieved the pain. Attempts at stricture dilation with a dilation balloo...
متن کاملMetal stents placement for refractory pancreatic duct stricture in children
AIM To evaluate the use of fully covered self-expandable metal stents (FCSEMSs) for pancreatic duct strictures in children with chronic pancreatitis. METHODS Eight patients with refractory benign dominant stricture of the main pancreatic duct (MPD) were enrolled through chart reviews between December 2014 and June 2017 in a single center. Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) ...
