Pancreatic Stents
 Shape
– Geenen - curve, multiple
side holes/distal flaps
– Sherman - straight,
multiple side holes,
proximal flap/distal pigtail
– Modified Cotton-Leung
stent – S-shaped with
distal flap
 Size 3,5,7 or 10 Fr
 Length 3,5,7,9,12 cm
Pancreatic Stents – Design and Application
Optimal design of stents
 Size (small)
 Material (soft)
– Less irritation to ductal
epithelium
 Migrate out spontaneously
Common Indications
 Acute pancreatitis
– Drainage to prevent post
ERCP pancreatitis
– Assist endoscopic therapy
 Papillotomy
 Leaks
 Malignancy
– Drainage to relief pain
 Chronic pancreatitis
– Adjuvant therapy for stone
and stricture
Technique of Pancreatic Stent Placement
 Deep cannulation
with guide wire
across papilla or
stricture
 + Pancreatic
papillotomy
 Stent inserted over
wire and positioned
with pusher
Pancreatic Stenting using
Mechanical Simulator
Stenting with Fusion
system
 External wire lock
anchors guide
wire allowing
minimal exchange
over guide wire
 Stent deployment
is easily
coordinated
Post-ERCP Pancreatitis
Incidence
 Most common
complication of ERCP
 Incidence 5-10%, 1%
severe, 0.1% fatal
 Significant medical/
social/economic and
liability problem
Possible causes
 Acinarization – overfilling
 Hyperosmolarity /
contrast allergy
 Trauma – guide wire
 Coagulation injury
 Impaired drainage from
pancreas
 Bacterial contamination
 Bile contamination
Mechanism of Post ERCP Pancreatitis
 Papillary manipulation results in edema and
sphincter spasm obstructing PD flow, leading to
intracellular activation of enzymes
 Improving drainage with PD stent may prevent
post ERCP pancreatitis
PD Stenting Prevents PEP in SOD Pts
 80 Pts with pancreatic SOD after biliary EST
were randomized to PD stent or no stent
 Post ERCP pancreatitis occurred in
– 10/39 (26%) with “No stent”
– 1/41 (2.4%) with “Stent”
 2 Pts (7%) developed PEP after stent removal
Tarnasky Gastroenterol 1998
PD Stenting for High Risk Patients
 76 high-risk pts: SOM or difficult cannulation +
EST were randomized
 Post ERCP pancreatitis occurred in
– 10/36 (28%) with “No stent” (5 mild, 2 moderate, 3
severe)
– 2/38 (5%) with “Stent” (mild pancreatitis)
 PD cannulation failed in 2/40 pts (5%)
Fazel GIE 2003
Is PD Stent Necessary for Every ERCP?
Probably NOT
 Increased time and difficulty
 Increased risk
 Increased cost
 Risk of ductal changes from stent irritation
 Need follow–up to insure stent migration
 May need 2nd procedure for stent removal
Who Will Benefit from PD Stenting?
Patient Factors
 Suspected SOD
 Young female
 Prior post-ERCP
pancreatitis
 Normal serum bilirubin
Technical Factors
 Difficult cannulation
 Pre-cut sphincterotomy
 Pancreatic sphincterotomy
 Ampullectomy
 Balloon sphincteroplasty
Potential Risks of Pancreatic Stenting
Risks
 Failed stent placement
 Proximal tip of stent
damages PD
 Stent occlusion causing
pancreatitis
 Chronic ductal changes
 Inward stent migration
Dilemma
 To consider PD stent
placement in a “high-risk”
patient is a serious
decision
 If successful, risk of PEP
is reduced.
 However, failed attempt
INCREASES the risks
Outcome of Failed PD Stenting
225 high-risk therapeutic ERCP’s
PEP 32/222 (14%) with successful PD stents
PEP in 2/3 (67%) with failed PD stent insertion
Severe pancreatitis occurred only in failed stents
Multivariate analysis: failed stent RR 16, SOD RR
3.2, prior PEP RR 3.2
 Not significant: EST, NK precut, # PD injections or
difficult cannulation

Balloon Sphincteroplasty & Double Stents
 Double wires
 Balloon
sphincteroplasty
 Double stents for
drainage
 PD stent for
prophylactic
drainage
Assisted Precut Biliary Sphincterotomy
 PD stent protects
pancreas
 Needle knife
precut along
biliary axis
Pancreas Divisum
Minor Papillotomy with PD Stenting
Chronic Pancreatitis - Stone & Stricture
EndoTherapy for Chronic Pancreatitis
 Less invasive than surgery
 Results comparable to
surgery
 Surgery is still possible
after failed endotherapy
 ? Predicts outcome after
surgery
Dilation/Stenting of Pancreatic Stricture
 Guide wire (hydrophilic)
across stricture
 Dilators
– Graded dilators
– Pneumatic balloons (4-6 mm)
 Short-term pancreatic stenting
to insure drainage
Dilation of Tight PD Stricture with
Soehendra Stent Retriever


Pancreatic sphincterotomy

Dilation of orifice/stricture
Stone extraction with wire
basket (e.g. 22Q)
 ? Mechanical lithotripsy
– limitations
 PD stent for drainage
 ESWL to fragment large
(calcified) stone
