EUS-guided pancreatic duct drainage with rendezvous technique for post-Whipple pancreatic duct stone

摘要

EUS-guided pancreatic duct (EUS-PD) drainage is a chal- lenging procedure with a technical success rate of 81%, an adverse event rate of 21%, and a steep learning curve. 1,2 In addition to difficulties in reaching and identifying the pancreaticojejunal anastomosis (PJA), the lack of dedicated stone extraction devices for long-type double-balloon entero- scopes can make EUS-PD drainage rendezvous for pancreatic duct stones (PDS) particularly challenging. 3 We present a case of EUS-PD drainage rendezvous in a patient with PJA ste- nosis and PDS.
