We herein describe endoscopic treatment of symptomatic pancreatic pseudocyst with significant necrosis and a fistula. Fifty eight year old man had presented to us with a large pseudocyst following an episode of acute pancreatitis. He was complaining of significant abdominal pain for two months. A... CT scan abdominal had revealed a large retro-gastric pseudocyst with necrosis and portal venous thrombosis. An upper GI endoscopy had revealed small linear fundal varcies. Endoscopic as well as surgical treatment for the cyst was discussed with the patient. Patient wished not to undergo surgical treatment and therefore endoscopic treatment was selected after a proper consent. EUS was performed to see for the interposed vessel prior to the pseudocyst puncture. Needle knife puncture was made and a guide wire was passed in the pseudocyst cavity. After confirming the wire placement in the cyst, the tract was dilated up to 20 mms using a CRE balloon. Fluid from the cyst was emptied out in the stomach. An ERCP scope was passed in to the cyst cavity, which revealed a significant necrotic material (much more than what the CT scan had revealed). All the free lying necrotic material was taken out with the help of a snare and a dormia basket. A lot of necrotic was stuck to the cyst wall, which was removed with the help of water jet, mechanical scooping and cutting through using a needle knife papillotome. Three 10 fr. Pigtail stents were placed at the end of the procedure. Further necrosectomy was carried out on alternate days for three more sessions. Dilation was required prior to each session three pigtail trans-gastric stents were placed at the end of each session. Single stent was kept in situ during each procedure to guide the path (the position of the stoma changed dramatically once the cyst was empty). During the last lesion (session four), a pancreatogram was taken. It revealed a mildly dilated CBD in the head, normally duct in the proximal body with a leak from the distal body, and contrast was seen going in to the pseudocyst cavity. The duct could not be opacified distally. A 7 fr. 15 cms stent was placed trans-papillary. When the cyst cavity was reentered through trans-gastric route, the trans-papillary pancreatic stent was clearly visible with soft necrotic material around it. In fact, the stent guided further necrosis removal. It also helped in diverting the pancreatic juice to the duodenum rather than in the pseudocyst cavity. Patient was discharged after this session and was followed up regularly. A CT scan was obtained after three months, which revealed a complete resolution of the necrosis and pseudocyst. There was a possibility of a persistent fistula after the removal of trans-papillary stent and a recurrence of the pseudocyst. Fistula closure with cyanoacrylate glue is well described in the literature. The procedure can have obvious complications secondary to accidental blockage of the main pancreatic duct. So, we thought it prudent to use a safer alternative to treat the condition. We removed the longer pancreatic stent and replaced it with a shorter pancreatic stent occupying only the head region. The patient was followed up after a month; sonography of the abdomen did not reveal any recurrence of the pseudocyst. All the stents were removed at this examination.
This 38 year old woman has increasingly intractable RUQ pain after cholecystectomy done one year prior. LFTs and pancreatic enzymes have been normal, and ducts are non-dilated, thus she is a Type III possible SOD patient. Initial goal is to define course of pancreatic duct for manometry. 5-4-3 Co...ntour catheter (Boston Scientific) is used to perform the pancreatogram which shows a small straight distal duct. The aspirating triple lumen manometry catheter (Wilson Cook) is used to cannulate the pancreatic duct, with continuous aspiration of fluid once the duct is entered. Careful stationed pullthrough manometry shows markedly abnormal basal pressures in both leads in the pancreatic sphincter. Plan is dual pancreatic and biliary sphincterotomy. Biliary manometry will not now change our plan therefore is omitted. Our first goal is to access the pancreatic duct so we can guarantee wire access for placement of a small caliber pancreatic stent which is critical for safety. Contrast is injected as the 0.018in Roadrunner wire (Wilson Cook) is advanced in order to outline the course of main duct. A separate biliary orifice is clearly seen, unusual in SOD patients. A soft 4Fr 3cm single inner flange pancreatic stent (Hobbs Medical) is placed. We did not want to use our typical 9cm long unflanged stent as even a 3 or 4 French stent might be traumatic to the tiny caliber of this duct out in the body of the gland. Next the bile duct is cannulated with a papillotome (Autotome 39, Boston Scientific), showing a small perhaps 6mm bile duct. Biliary sphincterotomy is performed in very careful stepwise fashion as landmarks are unclear and perforation is higher risk in small duct SOD patients. On the other hand, inadequate sphincterotomies offer limited chance of symptom relief. You can see here a patulous sphincterotomy. Next a pancreatic sphincterotomy is performed with the needle knife (Boston Scientific) over the pancreatic stent. Again this is performed cautiously due to the small size of the pancreatic duct. We are reaching along the stent and cutting the fibers deeply. This is a limited pancreatic sphincterotomy due to small pancreatic duct size, and concern for scarring of the pancreatic duct. It is important to document passage of the stent by xray or remove it endoscopically with two weeks or so. We and many other specialized centers perform dual sphincterotomies at the first ERCP in all SOD patients with abnormal pancreatic manometry and frequent or intractable symptoms based on the belief that response rates are better than for biliary sphincterotomy alone.
Descemet’s stripping automated endothelial keratoplasty (DSAEK) avoids a full-thickness corneal procedure and provides rapid visual rehabilitation. Successful graft positioning while minimizing intraoperative donor endothelial trauma may determine long-term graft survival. Previously described t...echniques for graft insertion may be problematic in some patients with intraoperative floppy iris syndrome (IFIS), anatomically shallow or unstable anterior chambers, or intraoperative increased posterior pressure. This video displays alternative method called the suture drag technique, which may facilitate lamellar endothelial graft insertion under these special circumstances.
