Abstract:
Objective To explore the therapeutic effect of endoscopic treatment for common bile duct stricture secondary to chronic pancreatitis.Methods The clinical data of 58 patients with common bile duct stricture secondary to chronic pancreatitis diagnosed between January 2007 and January 2014 were retrospectively analysed.Results A total of 58 patients with common bile duct stricture secondary to chronic pancreatitis underwent 157 endoscopic procedures with placement of 204 polyethylene stents.The mean time of stenting was 12.2 months(3-33 months).After treatment,stricture disappeared in 20 patients(34.5%),with a mean stenting period of 7.8 months(3-22 months).Treatment was successful in 37 patients(63.8%),with a mean stenting period of 9.5 months (3-22 months),and was incompletely successful in 12 patients (20.7%) with a mean stenting period of 19.8 months(12-33 months).Nine patients(15.5%) referred to surgery were considered a failure of endoscopic therapy.Conclusion The endoscopic treatment of common bile duct stricture due to pancreatic edema or pancreatic cyst is effective.Endoscopic treatment is a safe,effective and minimally invasive method for common bile duct stricture secondary to chronic pancreatitis,which can be the first option.
