Abstract

There are few reports on endoscopic ultrasonography (EUS)-guided transjejunal drainage. Here, we report a case with postoperative pancreatic fistula treated by endoscopic transjejunal drainage using a forward-viewing (FV) echoendoscope. A 69-year-old woman who had undergone pancreaticoduodenectomy was admitted because of pancreatic fistula. Placement of plastic stents into the pancreatic duct using a double-balloon enteroscope and EUS-guided transgastric drainage failed. We attempted EUS-guided transjejunal drainage using an FV echoendoscope that can advance through the acute-angled intestinal tract safely, and drainage was performed. There were no complications, and follow-up computed tomography showed complete resolution.

Keynote webinar | Spotlight on medication adherence

Live: Thursday 27th June 2024, 18:00-19:30 (CEST)

WHO estimates that half of all patients worldwide are non-adherent to their prescribed medication. The consequences of poor adherence can be catastrophic, on both the individual and population level.

Join our expert panel to discover why you need to understand the drivers of non-adherence in your patients, and how you can optimize medication adherence in your clinics to drastically improve patient outcomes.
