Abstract

There are currently no plastic pancreatic duct stents that have been designed for endoscopic ultrasonography (EUS)-guided placement. This study prospectively evaluated the feasibility and efficacy of a new, single-pigtail, plastic stent. Eight patients with main pancreatic duct stricture or stenotic pancreatojejunostomy underwent EUS-guided placement of the pancreatic duct stent. The stent was placed successfully in all cases (8/8). Treatment success was achieved in all cases (8/8). A mild adverse event associated with the procedure was observed in one patient but there were no other adverse events during a mean follow-up of 7.4 months. This new pancreatic duct stent appears to be feasible and effective for EUS-guided stenting.
