Treatment of Pancreatic Pseudocysts by Endoscopic Ultrasound-guided Drainage

NCT02845258 · Status: COMPLETED · Type: OBSERVATIONAL · Enrollment: 80

Summary

Patients may evolve pseudocysts of the pancreas secondary to a severe pancreatitis. In case of a symptomatic or infected pseudocyst, a therapeutic drainage of the cyst is indicated. In modern medicine the preferred way to perform such a drainage is by the means of endoscopic ultrasound (EUS). It is not precisely elucidated how this EUS-procedure should be performed in different scenarios. The cyst appearance and the drainage stents and/or technique may impact the clinical outcome.

This study is a prospective, single-center observational study on the outcome after EUS-guided drainage of pancreatic pseudocysts.

Conditions

  • Pancreatic Pseudocyst
  • Drainage

Interventions

PROCEDURE

Pancreatic pseudocyst drainage with a plastic or self-expandable metallic stent (SEMS)

Pancreatic pseudocyst drainage with a plastic or self-expandable metallic stent (SEMS): This procedure is to be regarded as a clinical routine procedure since a couple of years back. The type of stent (material? length? thickness?), the cyst appearance (large? infected? cyst wall thickness?) and the type of access (transgastric? transduodenal?) may however vary from patient to patient. In this study we perform EUS-drainage using different types of equipment on a wide range of pancreatic pseudocysts of different appearance and character. All procedures are performed as recommended. The very aim of the study is to investigate which technique and Equipment is to be preferred in different scenarios.
