Effectiveness and Safety of Enteroscopy-Assisted ERP-Guided Versus EUS-Guided Pancreatic Duct Drainage for Pancreaticojejunostomy Strictures: A Multicenter Observational Study.

Key Points

The study aims to compare the effectiveness and safety of enteroscopy-assisted ERP-guided pancreatic duct drainage versus EUS-guided drainage for pancreaticojejunostomy strictures.
Multicenter observational study design
Comparison of technical and clinical success rates
Assessment of safety measures after adjustments
Analysis of MPD diameter correlation with treatment outcomes
Development of treatment algorithm based on MPD size
EUS-PDD showed higher technical and clinical success than eERP-PDD
Safety profiles were comparable between both techniques
An MPD diameter of ≥ 5 mm linked to eERP-PDD failure
Proposed treatment algorithm for MPD size optimization
Requires prospective validation of findings

Abstract

EUS-PDD demonstrated higher technical and clinical success than eERP-PDD for PJS, with comparable safety after adjustment. An MPD diameter ≥ 5 mm was associated with eERP-PDD failure. An MPD-based algorithm is proposed: eERP-PDD for MPD < 5 mm with EUS-PDD as salvage, and EUS-PDD for MPD ≥ 5 mm. This algorithm is hypothesis-generating and requires prospective validation.
