Endoscopic therapy in disconnected duct syndrome: re-connecting the duct.

We report the case of a 61-year-old male patient with a history of acute necrotizing biliary pancreatitis and a disconnected duct syndrome. He underwent transgastric drainage using a luminal apposing metal stent and transgastric necrosectomy with complete resolution of the necrosis. A pancreatic fistula was identified during pancreatography and a pancreatic plastic stent was placed in order to manage the disconnected duct syndrome. The tip of the pancreatic stent could be seen inside the pancreatic collection, which is an unusual finding. There was a resolution of the collection and the pancreatic stent was removed.
