Pancreatic duct stenting by the rendezvous technique from the minor to major papilla for severe pancreatitis due to papillary stenosis after endoscopic papillectomy.

Abstract

A pancreatic duct (PD) stent placement after endoscopic papillectomy (EP) is recommended to prevent papillary stenosis [1]. However, there are cases in which pancreatitis due to papillary stenosis develops after stent removal, making endoscopic PD drainage difficult [2] [3].
