BACKGROUND Obstruction of the afferent or efferent limbs of a gastrojejunal anastomosis is a potential complication after pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD) resulting in either gastric outlet obstruction or afferent limb syndrome. The use of self-expanding metal stents for the management of anastomotic strictures after resection of pancreatic cancer has not been well studied. We present four such cas...
Aims. To evaluate the need for endoscopic sphincterotomy (EST) before covered self-expandable metal stent (CSEMS) deployment for malignant lower biliary stricture with pancreatic duct obstruction. Methods. This study included 79 patients who underwent CSEMS deployment for unresectable malignant lower biliary stricture with pancreatic duct obstruction. Treatment outcomes and complications were c...
Endoscopic placement of plastic stents to treat stricture of the main pancreatic duct (MPD) due to chronic pancreatitis has been widely accepted [1]. In spite of the improvement of endoscopic skills and devices, proximal migration is one of the most troubling problems. Here we describe a new technique for removing a pancreatic plastic stent (PPS) from the MPD. We present a case of a 47-year-old...
CONTEXT When ERCP fails in the setting of combined biliary and duodenal obstruction, EUS-guided biliary drainage has emerged as an alternate method of biliary decompression. CASE REPORT We present a case of a 40-year-old man with advanced pancreatic cancer and a pre-existing duodenal wall stent who subsequently develops jaundice due to biliary obstruction. An ERCP was technically unsuccessful...
BACKGROUND Malignant gastric outlet obstruction (GOO) is commonly seen in patients with advanced gastric-, pancreatic-, duodenal, hepatobiliary or metastatic malignancies. Ten to 25% of patients with pancreatic cancer will develop duodenal obstruction during the course of the disease. Duodenal stenting with self-expandable metal stents is an alternative treatment to surgical bypass procedures. ...
CONTEXT Pancreatic stents may be placed during therapeutic ERCP for a variety of indications. One such indication is to prophylax against the development of pancreatitis following sphincterotomy of the minor papilla in patients with recurrent acute pancreatitis and pancreas divisum. Increasingly, endoscopists that perform pancreatic ERCP are placing small caliber (3 Fr), unflanged, single pigta...
INTRODUCTION We report on a case of autoimmune pancreatitis presenting as pancreatic head cancer, which is extremely rare in Iran. Currently, on the PubMed database, no such cases exist. CASE PRESENTATION A 70-year-old Iranian man presented with recurrent abdominal pain, jaundice and elevated bilirubin and alkaline phosphatase levels. An abdominal computed tomography scan revealed a heterogen...
background: recently, different investigators have studied the possibility of radiation therapy in restenosis prevention and have shown promising results. in this study a unique radioactive source for intra vascular brachytherapy (ivbt) was investigated. the two-dimensional dose distribution in water for a 32p ivbt stent has been calculated. the pure beta emitter source 32p has been coated on p...
