Successful Endoscopic Treatment of Severe Pancreaticojejunostomy Strictures by Puncturing the Anastomotic Site with an EUS-guided Guidewire
نویسندگان
چکیده
Pancreaticojejunostomy stricture (PJS) is a late complication of pancreaticoduodenectomy. The endoscopic treatment of PJS is very challenging due to the difficulty of locating the small anastomotic site and passing the stricture using a guidewire. We herein report two cases of severe PJS. These patients could not be treated using only double-balloon endoscopy or endoscopic ultrasound-guided puncture of the main pancreatic duct because of severe stenosis at the anastomotic site. However, we could treat them by the rendezvous technique using the rigid part of the guidewire to penetrate PJS. This method was useful and safe for treating severe PJS.

Recently, balloon enteroscopy has made possible the use of endoscopic approaches to the surgically reconstructed intestine [1–4], so that hepaticojejunostomy strictures can be treated endoscopically. We describe the successful endoscopic dilation of a severe hepaticojejunostomy stricture with a wire-guided diathermic dilator (6-Fr, 180-cm Cysto-Gastro-Set; Endo-flex, Voerde, Germany) (●" Fig.1)...

Anastomotic stricture frequently occurs with colorectal surgery [1]. Endoscopic dilation or stenting may be used to avoid surgical reintervention [2]. If this fails, endoscopic ultrasound (EUS)-guided stent placement has been proposed [3]. We report two cases of successful EUS-guided colorectal stricture recanalization made possible by two methods of filling the colonwithwater (●" Fig.1;●" Vide...
