Abstract
Interventional radiology can be used to perform complex pancreatic duct (PD) interventions in cases in which PD abnormalities limit the feasibility of an endoscopic approach. A multidisciplinary approach with gastroenterology using the rendezvous technique can improve procedural success. The establishment of through-and-through access to the PD via a combined percutaneous and endoscopic approach can be used when endoscopy alone fails. In this study, 3 cases are presented in which the rendezvous technique was successfully employed to access the PD for subsequent interventions.
