Comparison of radiation exposure between endoscopic ultrasound-guided drainage and transpapillary drainage by endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography for pancreatobiliary diseases. Dig Endosc 2022; 34:579-586. [PMID: 34107099 PMCID: PMC9292288 DOI: 10.1111/den.14060] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/15/2021] [Revised: 05/24/2021] [Accepted: 06/08/2021] [Indexed: 02/08/2023]
Abstract
OBJECTIVES The transpapillary drainage by endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP-D) cannot be performed without fluoroscopy, and there are many situations in which fluoroscopy is required even in endoscopic ultrasound-guided drainage (EUS-D). Previous studies have compared the efficacy, but not the radiation exposure of EUS-D and ERCP-D. While radiation exposure in ERCP-D has been previously evaluated, there is a paucity of information regarding radiation doses in EUS-D. This study aimed to assess radiation exposure in EUS-D compared with that in ERCP-D. METHODS This retrospective single-center cohort study included consecutive patients who underwent EUS-D and ERCP-D between October 2017 and March 2019. The air kerma (AK, mGy), kerma-area product (KAP, Gycm2 ), fluoroscopy time (FT, min), and procedure time (PT, min) were assessed. The invasive probability weighting method was used to qualify the comparisons. RESULTS We enrolled 372 and 105 patients who underwent ERCP-D and EUS-D, respectively. The mean AK, KAP, and FT in the EUS-D group were higher by 53%, 28%, and 27%, respectively, than those in the ERCP-D group, whereas PT was shorter by approximately 11% (AK, 135.0 vs. 88.4; KAP, 28.1 vs. 21.9; FT, 20.4 vs. 16.0; PT, 38.7 vs. 43.5). The sub-analysis limited to biliary drainage cases showed the same trend (AK, 128.3 vs. 90.9; KAP, 27.0 vs. 22.2; FT, 16.4 vs. 16.1; PT, 32.5 vs. 44.4). CONCLUSIONS This is the first study to assess radiation exposure in EUS-D compared with that in ERCP-D. Radiation exposure was significantly higher in EUS-D than in ERCP-D, despite the shorter procedure time.

Utility of dedicated bougie dilator for a 0.018-inch guidewire during EUS-guided biliary drainage: A multi-center retrospective cohort study. JOURNAL OF HEPATO-BILIARY-PANCREATIC SCIENCES 2021; 29:810-816. [PMID: 34272831 DOI: 10.1002/jhbp.1021] [Citation(s) in RCA: 13] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/12/2021] [Revised: 06/04/2021] [Accepted: 07/08/2021] [Indexed: 11/05/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND During endoscopic ultrasound-guided biliary drainage (EUS-BD), a combination of a 19-gauge needle and a 0.025-inch guidewire is generally used. However, a 19-gauge needle has poor maneuverability because of their stiffness and rigidity and might have poor penetrability in non-dilated bile ducts because of their large bore. In contrast, the application of a 22-gauge needle is expected to have improved maneuverability. However, only a 0.018-inch guidewire, which has less supportability, is applicable in the subsequent guidewire selection. This study aimed to evaluate the feasibility and safety of a dedicated bougie dilator for a 0.018-inch guidewire. METHODS From September 2019 to May 2020, 26 patients underwent fistula dilation using the dilator after accessing the bile duct using a 22-gauge needle and a 0.018-inch guidewire during EUS-BD. The success and adverse event rates of EUS-BD were evaluated. RESULTS Biliary access with a combination of a 22-gauge needle and a 0.018-inch guidewire was successful in all with a median bile duct diameter of 5 mm. Dilation of the fistula using the dedicated dilator was also successful in all cases. Subsequently, the dilator was successfully exchanged to an ERCP catheter that allowed for exchange to a 0.025-inch guidewire, except in one case where the catheter did not cross the fistula and a dilation balloon was inserted for an exchange to a 0.025-inch guidewire. The technical success rate of the EUS-BD was 100%. The adverse event rate was 19%. CONCLUSION The application of the dedicated dilator for a 0.018-inch guidewire was considered feasible and safe for EUS-BD.

Abstract
Background and Objectives: EUS-guided biliary drainage (EUS-BD) has recently been used for the treatment of not only malignant pancreaticobiliary diseases, but also for benign diseases. In most previous studies, EUS-BD was performed using a fully covered self-expandable metallic stent (SEMS), and data focusing on the usability of plastic stents for benign diseases are limited. We previously developed a plastic stent dedicated to EUS-guided hepaticoenterostomy (EUS-HES), and achieved favorable results in a feasibility study, although most of the patients had malignant diseases. Therefore, the aim of the present study was to evaluate the usability of dedicated plastic stents for EUS-HES in patients with benign pancreaticobiliary diseases. Patients and Methods: A total of 57 consecutive patients (28 men, median age: 68 years; range: 7–90 years) of normal and surgically altered anatomy with benign pancreaticobiliary diseases who underwent EUS-HES using the dedicated plastic stent between Jan. 2015 and Jun. 2020 were retrospectively analyzed. Results: The overall technical success rate of EUS-HES was 92.9% (53/57). Among the 4 cases of technical failure of plastic stent placement, a SEMS was placed in 1; percutaneous transhepatic biliary drainage was performed in 1; EUS-HES was reperformed 1 week later in 1; and observational management was selected in 1 patient. Adverse events associated with the procedure were seen in 15.7% (9/57) of the patients, namely, biliary peritonitis in 4, bleeding in 2, cholecystitis in 2, and pneumoperitoneum in 1 patient. Except for 1 patient who required blood transfusion owing to bleeding and 1 patient with cholecystitis who required percutaneous transhepatic gallbladder drainage, the other 7 patients were treated by conservative therapy. There were no intervention-associated deaths. Conclusion: Our results demonstrated that for patients with benign pancreaticobiliary diseases in whom conventional ERCP was unsuccessful, EUS-HES using a dedicated plastic stent was safe and feasible.

Abstract
A 43-year-old man was admitted to a local hospital because of acute left abdominal pain. Chronic alcoholic pancreatitis and a 10-cm pancreatic pseudocyst in the tail of the pancreas had been found 5 years previously. He had not stopped drinking alcohol since then. On admission, laboratory tests revealed severe anemia, and contrast-enhanced computed tomography showed extravasation in the pancreatic pseudocyst. The spleen was retracted by the pancreatic pseudocyst, and its configuration was indistinct. The patient was diagnosed with acute bleeding within the pancreatic pseudocyst and splenic rupture. He was transferred to our university hospital on an emergency basis. Abdominal angiography of the splenic artery was immediately performed, but the bleeding point was not found. Although the bleeding stopped spontaneously, an infection of the pancreatic pseudocyst and a splenic hematoma subsequently developed. Endoscopic ultrasound-guided pseudocyst drainage was performed. The infection improved after the drainage, and the size of the pancreatic pseudocyst and splenic hematoma decreased. Five months later, the pancreatic pseudocyst had almost disappeared, and the splenic hematoma was even smaller. We herein report a rare case of splenic rupture caused by a pancreatic pseudocyst. Although the patient's condition became complicated by severe infection, treatment by endoscopic ultrasound-guided drainage was successful.
