    Author: Kochhar R, Goenka MK, Nagi B, Singh K.
    Journal: Indian J Gastroenterol; 1995 Jul; 14(3):106-7. PubMed ID: 7657363.
    Abstract:
    Usefulness of endoscopic pancreatic stents in the management of pancreatic ascites and pleural effusion has been evaluated only recently. We report a patient with alcoholic pancreatitis who presented with ascites and pleural effusion and had a pancreatic duct disruption in the body area on pancreaticography. A 5 F stent was placed across the disruption with rapid subsidence of both ascites and pleural effusion. The stent was removed after 12 weeks and there has been no recurrence during a follow-up period of 9 months.
