  • Title: Endoscopic Retrograde Cholangiopancreatography for the Management of Pancreatic Duct Leaks and Fistulas.
    Author: Razjouyan H, Maranki JL.
    Journal: Gastrointest Endosc Clin N Am; 2024 Jul; 34(3):405-416. PubMed ID: 38796289.
    Abstract:
    Pancreatic duct (PD) leaks are a common complication of acute and chronic pancreatitis, trauma to the pancreas, and pancreatic surgery. Diagnosis of PD leaks and fistulas is often made with contrast-enhanced pancreatic protocol computed tomography or magnetic resonance imaging with MRCP. Endoscopic retrograde pancreatography with pancreatic duct stenting in appropriately selected patients is often an effective treatment, helps to avoid surgery, and is considered first-line therapy in cases that fail conservative management.
