Abstract
- Although endoscopic transpapillary treatment of chronic pancreatitis (CP) is gaining acceptance, it is not always possible, especially in patients with inflammatory stenosis of the duodenum due to CP or with a history of a Whipple's procedure. Linear array echoendoscopes (ES) provide high-quality images of the pancreas along with adjacent organs and allow therapeutic applications. echoendoscope-related procedures, such as ES-guided pancreatic duct drainage (ESPD) are feasible and useful in selected patients with CP suffering from PD stricture in whom conventional endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) is impossible.
