Abstract EN
Background and Aims.
Recurrent pancreatitis associated with pancreatic strictures requires treatment with endoscopic retrograde pancreatography (ERP), but it is sometimes technically unsuccessful.
Endoscopic ultrasound-guided pancreatic drainage (EUS-PD) was developed as an alternative to a surgical approach after failed ERP; however, the indications for EUS-PD are unclear.
In this study, we evaluated the outcomes of EUS-PD and established the indications for EUS-PD.
Methods.
A total of 15 patients had indications for EUS-PD for recurrent pancreatitis due to pancreatic strictures.
There were eight patients with benign pancreatic strictures and seven with malignant pancreatic strictures.
The success rate, adverse events, and long-term outcomes were evaluated.
Results.
The technical success rates of benign and malignant strictures were 75% (6/8) and 100% (7/7), respectively, and clinical success was achieved in 100% (6/6) and 87.5% of cases (6/7), respectively.
Rendezvous procedures were performed in two patients with benign strictures.
The adverse event (AE) rate was 26.7% (4/15) and included cases of peritonitis, bleeding, and stent migration.
Reinterventions were performed in three patients with benign strictures and two with malignant strictures.
Conclusions.
EUS-PD was an appropriate treatment for not only benign strictures but also malignant strictures with recurrent pancreatitis after failed ERP.
However, the AE rate was high, and reinterventions were required in some cases during long-term follow-up.
The indications for EUS-PD should be considered carefully, and careful follow-up is needed.
