Recently, EUS-guided pancreatic duct drainage with transmural stenting (EUS-PD) has
been used for patients with painful obstructive pancreatitis in whom endoscopic retrograde
pancreatography (ERP) has failed. Although the feasibility and safety of EUS-PD with
a fully covered self-expandable metal stent (FCSEMS) has been assessed, little is
known about the long-term outcomes of EUS-PD with a fully covered self-expandable
metal stent (FCSEMS). Removability of an FCSEMS in long-term use and higher cost are
the main concerns of EUS-PD with an FCSEMS. The aim of this study is to evaluate the
procedural and long-term outcomes of EUS-PD with an FCSEMS for patients with painful
obstructive pancreatitis who failed ERP.
