Endoscopic stenting for common bile duct stenoses in chronic pancreatitis: results and impact on long-term outcome

Abstract: There seems to be a therapeutic benefit for short-term endoscopic treatment but medium-term and long-term outcome remains questionable. Endoscopic stenting should be applied as an initial therapy before surgery, but it can be the definitive approach for older and morbid patients or cases with complete stricture regression after stent removal. Overall, it should not be considered as a routine procedure for symptomatic cases.

“…Stent malfunctioning with clogging and septic complications are common. Morphological resolution of stenosis in long-term follow-up studies is obtained in no more than 10% of patients [205][206][207]. More aggressive endoscopic therapy, by placement of multiple plastic stents, can obtain stricture resolution in 44−90% of cases with a 13-48 months follow-up period after stent removal [208][209][210].…”

“…Jaundice in CP arises due to compression of the intrapancreatic portion of the common bile duct by an inflammatory mass in the pancreatic head [2, 21, 22]. In this case, drainage of the obstructed biliary tract is indicated to avoid secondary problems like cholangitis, liver damage, or secondary biliary cirrhosis [86].…”

“…While, success is dependant on the number of sessions and the number of stents placed, it appears that this maybe a reasonable first-line option [42] . Several groups have studied biliary strictures and endoscopic approach to treatment, and in all cases average stricture resolution was reported between 10%-33% (Table 3) [57,[77][78][79][80][81][82][83] . ESWL alone was a safe and effective modality of treatment in reducing pain in CP with stone only disease and addition of endoscopic measures added costs to patient care, with no significant reduction in pain relief [54] .…”
