EUS-Assisted Rendezvous Stenting of the Pancreatic Duct for Chronic Calcifying Pancreatitis with Multiple Pseudocysts

Initial experience with EUS-guided cholangiopancreatography for biliary and pancreatic duct drainage: a Spanish national survey

“…The majority of authors recommend ESCP to be performed exclusively in tertiary-care and experienced centers 1,9,21,23,40 with proper surgical and radiological support available. In our study, 4 patients (3.2%) underwent ESCP in centers without a specialized surgeon and 12 (9.6%) in hospitals without an interventional radiologist.…”

Endoscopic ultrasound‐guided pancreatic duct drainage

“…EUSguided pancreaticoduodenostomy is a more recently described technique used in patients with either acute or chronic pancreatitis and allows access to the MPD from the duodenal bulb [12]. Sȃftoiu et al reported combined EUSassisted rendezvous stenting of the MPD with subsequent transpapillary stenting of the CBD for managing pancreatic [19]. Other variations have included access and drainage through the minor papilla [20].…”

Percutaneous Pancreatography for Treatment of Complicated Pancreatic Duct Strictures

“…Our institution is a quaternary care center staffed with interventionalists who are adept at wire-guided pancreatico-biliary ductal manipulation. An alternative to PP is EUSguided rendezvous [3][4][5] . PP and EUS-guided pancreatic therapy could be considered complementary, and PP is especially useful when EUS expertise is not available.…”
