Endoscopic ultrasound-guided placement of plastic pigtail stents for the drainage of refractory malignant ascites
Endoscopic ultrasound (EUS)-guided drainage is now the treatment of choice in cases of pancreatic pseudocysts and walled-off necrosis, especially in the absence of luminal bulging and in patients with portal hypertension. Malignant refractory ascites usually heralds a poor prognosis and substantially impairs the quality of life of patients because of the symptoms experienced and the need for re...
متن کاملDouble endosonography-guided transgastric and transduodenal drainage of infected pancreatic-fluid collections using metallic stents.
A 34-year-old male was referred to our hospital for drainage of symptomatic pancreatic fluid collections (PFCs) secondary to an acute pancreatitis. He was affected by gastro-duodenal and biliary obstruction. CT scan images revealed 1 perigastric pseudocyst (well-defined wall, without necrosis content, 70 x 120 mm) and 1 periduodenal walled-off pancreatic necrosis (WOPN) (thickened wall, partial...
متن کاملCurrent status of endosonography-guided biliary drainage.
An obstructed biliary system is usually drained by endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography, and when this is unsuccessful, the standard alternative technique is percutaneous transhepatic biliary drainage. Surgical biliary bypass may also be required. In recent years, endosonography has transformed from a solely diagnostic procedure to one with therapeutic capabilities. Endosonography-gui...
متن کاملFluoroscopic Placement of Double-Pigtail Ureteral Stents
PURPOSE Double-pigtail ureteral stent is placed cystoscopically after ureteroscopy. We describe a technique for fluoroscopic placement of ureteral stents and demonstrate its use in a non-randomized prospective study. MATERIALS AND METHODS Double-pigtail stents were placed either fluoroscopically or cystoscopically in 121 consecutive patients. In the fluoroscopic method, the stent was placed o...
متن کاملVesicoureteral reflux in patients with double pigtail stents.
A prospective study of 30 renal units in 27 patients with double pigtail ureteral stents seen at our hospital was done. The aim of the study was to confirm or rule out the occurrence of vesicoureteral reflux radiologically, and to define its degree in stented patients. During the filling phase of the cystourethrogram, reflux occurred in 19 of the 30 renal units (63%). Of those 19 renal units th...
