Pancreatic Cancer | November 2021-A MODIFIED APPROACH FOR EUS-GUIDED MANAGEMENT OF DISCONNECTED PANCREATIC DUCT SYNDROME

A MODIFIED APPROACH FOR EUS-GUIDED MANAGEMENT OF DISCONNECTED PANCREATIC DUCT SYNDROME

Video Transcription

Video Summary

In this video, two cases of Disconnected Pancreatic Doct Syndrome (DPDS) are presented, both involving the use of an EOS-guided approach. DPDS refers to the disruption of the main pancreatic duct, typically caused by necrotizing pancreatitis. This can lead to recurring acute pancreatitis and other complications. Traditional techniques like ERCP-based bridging are often unsuccessful due to complete ductal disruption. The EOS-guided transgastric approach involves draining the viable pancreas upstream and allowing the passage of pancreatic secretions. The video showcases the use of EOS-guided drainage in two patients with DPDS, both of whom experienced successful outcomes. The presence of a fluid collection facilitated the procedure in both cases.
