Although it has been proved that pancreatic stenting is effective in the symptomatic management of severe chronic pancreatitis, long-term outcomes after stent removal have not been fully evaluated.
A total of 100 patients (75 men, 25 women; median age 49) with severe chronic pancreatitis and pancreatic duct strictures were successfully treated for pancreatic pain using polyethylene pancreatic stents and were followed up for at least 1 year after stent removal. The stents were exchanged "on demand" (in cases of recurrence of pain) and a definitive stent removal was attempted on the basis of clinical and endoscopic findings. Clinical variables were retrospectively assessed as potential predictors of re-stenting.
The etiology of the chronic pancreatitis was alcoholic (77 %), idiopathic (18 %), or hereditary (5 %). Patients were followed up for a median period of 69 months (range 14 - 163 months) after study entry, including a median period of 27 months (range 12 - 126 months) after stent removal. The median duration of pancreatic stenting before stent removal was 23 months (range 2 - 134 months). After attempted definitive stent removal, 30 patients (30 %) required re-stenting within the first year of follow-up, at a median time of 5.5 months after stent removal (range 1 - 12 months), while in 70 patients (70 %) pain control remained adequate during that period. By the end of the follow-up period a total of 38 patients had required re-stenting and four ultimately underwent pancreaticojejunostomy. Pancreas divisum was the only factor significantly associated with a higher risk of re-stenting (P = 0.002).
The majority (70 %) of patients with severe chronic pancreatitis who respond to pancreatic stenting maintain this response after definitive stent removal. However, a significantly higher re-stenting rate was observed in patients with chronic pancreatitis and pancreas divisum.
尽管已证实胰管支架置入术在重度慢性胰腺炎的症状管理中有效,但支架取出后的长期疗效尚未得到充分评估。
共有100例重度慢性胰腺炎伴胰管狭窄患者(75例男性,25例女性;中位年龄49岁)使用聚乙烯胰管支架成功治疗胰性疼痛,并在支架取出后至少随访1年。支架根据需要进行更换(疼痛复发时),并根据临床和内镜检查结果尝试进行最终的支架取出。回顾性评估临床变量作为再次置入支架的潜在预测因素。
慢性胰腺炎的病因是酒精性(77%)、特发性(18%)或遗传性(5%)。研究入组后患者的中位随访时间为69个月(范围14 - 163个月),其中支架取出后的中位随访时间为27个月(范围12 - 126个月)。支架取出前胰管支架置入的中位持续时间为23个月(范围2 - 134个月)。在尝试进行最终的支架取出后,30例患者(30%)在随访的第一年需要再次置入支架,中位时间为支架取出后5.5个月(范围1 - 12个月),而70例患者(70%)在此期间疼痛控制良好。到随访期结束时,共有38例患者需要再次置入支架,4例最终接受了胰空肠吻合术。胰腺分裂是与再次置入支架风险较高显著相关的唯一因素(P = 0.002)。
大多数(70%)对胰管支架置入有反应的重度慢性胰腺炎患者在最终支架取出后仍保持这种反应。然而,慢性胰腺炎合并胰腺分裂的患者再次置入支架的发生率明显更高。
