Accurate, noninvasive assessment of pancreatic duct pressure offers a promising strategy to identify patients with true ductal hypertension and limit unnecessary interventions.
These advances emphasize the critical role of accurate pressure assessment in identifying patients with true ductal hypertension who are most likely to benefit from decompression. Noninvasive measurement offers a promising strategy to limit unnecessary interventions and to delineate the direct contribution of ductal pressure to exocrine, endocrine, and related disorders. Validation in larger cohorts and high-risk populations will be essential.
Li et al. (Fri,) conducted a review in Pancreatic ductal hypertension. Noninvasive measurement of pancreatic duct pressure was evaluated. Accurate, noninvasive assessment of pancreatic duct pressure offers a promising strategy to identify patients with true ductal hypertension and limit unnecessary interventions.
