2025年2月9日 · What do I need to know about pancreatic stent placement? A stent is a small tube used to widen a pancreatic duct and keep it open. Pancreatic fluid normally flows through the ducts. Smaller ducts empty fluid into the main duct. A stent can help treat a narrow, blocked, or leaking duct, or drain extra fluid.

Endoscopic placement of stents has played and still plays a major role in the treatment of chronic pancreatitis, pseudocysts, pancreas divisum, main pancreatic duct injuries, pancreatic fistulae, complications of acute pancreatitis, recurrent idiopathic pancreatitis, and in the prevention of post-ERCP pancreatitis.

This manuscript systematically reviewed the literature on the use of vascular shunts during advanced pancreatic surgery, analyzing intraoperative and postoperative outcomes, and enlightening excellent long-term patency, negligible additional ...

2023年1月15日 · Therapeutic stent placement is intended to restore the proper flow of pancreatic secretion with stenoses, leaks, fistulas or anatomical malformation of the pancreatic duct. Depending on the etiology, plastic stents or SEMSs are used.

Methods: We analyzed the perioperative data and survival outcome of 15 patients with locally advanced PDAC and PH who underwent pancreatoduodenectomy combined with vascular resections between October 2008 and October 2012 using this TMPS. Results: There was no perioperative mortality.

2025年2月6日 · Transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (TIPS) is an artificial path between the portal vein and suprahepatic veins for decreasing the portal pressure, defined as a hepatic venous pressure gradient > 5 mmHg. ... Results: Out of 1140 patients in a pancreatic resection database, four underwent preoperative TIPS before PD. The cohort ...

In these cases, the use of a temporary mesocaval shunt (tMCS) allows decompression of the mesenteric system to give more time and better access for resection. Very few case series have been reported. This case series presents the use of tMCS in a …

2014年3月3日 · The aim of the present study was to evaluate the perioperative morbidity and survival of a selected group of patients with PDAC and PH treated by neoadjuvant chemotherapy who underwent a curative pancreatic resection adopting a new type of temporary mesentericoportal shunt (TMPS).

Surgery and stents to relieve symptoms of pancreatic cancer. If you can't have surgery to remove pancreatic cancer, you may still have an operation to help relieve symptoms or prevent problems such as a blocked bile duct or bowel. This is called bypass surgery.

2024年6月27日 · An increasing number of patients with borderline resectable or locally advanced PDAC are becoming amenable to resection and shunt creation may facilitate vascular resection with clear margins, becoming a valid tool of modern pancreatic surgery.
