  1. Stuart Sherman, MD, FACG Endoscopic Management in Acute Pancreatitis Stuart Sherman, M.D. Indiana University Medical Center Indianapolis, Indiana Endotherapy of Pancreas Disease • ERCP traditionally avoided for pancreas indications because of concern for procedure-related pancreatitis • Two developments led to more widespread use – Recognition of relative safety in setting of gallstone pancreatitis – Development of endoscopic and pharmacologic methods to decrease rate of post-ERCP pancreatitis

  2. Stuart Sherman, MD, FACG Endoscopic Therapy of Pancreatic Disease • Acute pancreatitis – Gallstones – Sphincter of Oddi dysfunction – Pancreas divisum – Choledochocele – Tumor • Chronic pancreatitis – Strictures – Stones – CBD stricture • Complications of pancreatitis – Pseudocysts and fistula – Necrosis Gallstone Pancreatitis

  3. Stuart Sherman, MD, FACG Gallstone Pancreatitis: Endoscopic Rx • Prospective randomized controlled trial • Gallstones suspected by US and/or biochemical tests • 121 patients Rx’d conventionally or by urgent (< 72 hr) ERCP/ES and stone extraction • Patients stratified according to predicted severity based on modified Glasgow criteria Neoptolemos. Lancet 1988;2:975.

NEJM 1993;328:228 Acute Gallstone Pancreatitis: Endoscopic Rx • 238 gallstone pancreatitis patients randomized within 72 hours of symptom onset to ERCP/ES (n=126) or conservative Rx (n=112) • Patients with biliary obstruction (>5 mg/dl) or cholangitis excluded • Severity of AP based on modified Glasgow criteria Fölsch.

NEJM 1997;336:227. Gallstone Pancreatitis – Role of ERCP 8 RCT + 6 meta-analysis Conclusions 1. Early ERCP in the absence of coexisting cholangitis or biliary obstruction DOES NOT lead to a reduction in mortality and local or systemic complications 2. Patient outcomes are not dependent on predicted severity of pancreatitis 3. ERCP is not indicated for gallstone pancreatitis alone regardless of pancreatitis severity 4. ERCP should be done when gallstone pancreatitis is complicated by biliary obstruction or cholangitis Fogel, Sherman NEJM (In Press)

  6. Stuart Sherman, MD, FACG Pancreas Divisum Pancreas Divisum • Most common congenital variant of PD anatomy • Occurs when dorsal and ventral ducts fail to fuse • With duct nonunion, the major portion of the exocrine juice drains into the duodenum via the dorsal duct and minor papilla • Common cause of unexplained recurrent pancreatitis

  7. Stuart Sherman, MD, FACG Pancreas Divisum Minor Papilla

  8. Stuart Sherman, MD, FACG Pancreas Divisum: Endoscopic Therapy • Aim to alleviate the outflow obstruction • Methods: dilation, ES, stenting Dorsal Duct Stent

  11. Stuart Sherman, MD, FACG Conclusion: ARP Due to Pancreas Divisum • Patients with pancreas divisum and acute recurrent pancreatitis are good candidates for minor papilla therapy • Long-term outcome studies and further RCTs of endoscopic therapy are needed Sphincter of Oddi Dysfunction

Gastro 2012 Conclusions: IARP Due to SOD • SOD is the most common cause of IARP when detailed endoscopic evaluation performed • Sphincter of Oddi manometry is the gold standard for diagnosing SOD • The best therapy awaits further study – At present, the role of sphincter therapy remains unclear

  17. Stuart Sherman, MD, FACG Pseudocysts Pseudocyst • Localized collections of pancreatic juice • Enclosed by a non- epithelialized wall • Arise as consequence of acute pancreatitis, chronic pancreatitis, or pancreatic trauma* • Typically require  4 weeks to form * Arch Surg 1993;128:586

  18. Stuart Sherman, MD, FACG Pseudocysts: Endoscopic Therapy • Transpapillary • Transmural – Cystogastrostomy – Cystoduodenostomy • Combined techniques • EUS and/or ERCP

  19. Stuart Sherman, MD, FACG Pseudocyst Drainage Endoscopic Cystoenterostomy • Aim: Create a communication between cyst cavity and gastric or duodenal lumen • Two prerequisites should be fulfilled when doing video endoscopy – Visible bulge – Cyst-to-lumen distance < 1 cm – EUS has expanded patient population eligible for endoscopic drainage

  20. Stuart Sherman, MD, FACG Transmural Drainage of Pseudocyst Transmural Drainage of Pseudocyst

  21. Stuart Sherman, MD, FACG Pseudocyst Drainage Potential Advantages of EUS-guided Drainage over “Blind Puncture” • Avoidance of intervening vascular structures including varices • Assess degree of necrosis • Determine maturity of cyst wall • Easier sampling to rule out mucinous neoplasm • Visible bulge not necessary for drainage
