Results of 300 pancreatic duct stenting in acute pancreatitis

OBJECTIVE To analyze the results of pancreatic duct stenting in moderate and severe forms of pancreatitis. MATERIAL AND METHODS Pancreatic duct stenting in 300 patients with acute pancreatitis was analyzed. Examination and treatment were carried out in accordance with national clinical guidelines for acute pancreatitis (2015). RESULTS Pancreatic duct stenting was performed in 300 patients with moderate and severe forms of pancreatitis (according to APACHE II) in the first 8-72 hours after the onset of the disease. Plastic stent sizes range from 4 to 7 cm in length and 5 to 7 Fr in diameter. Infection with pancreonecrosis occurred in 22 (7.3%) of 300 patients in the main group, and 20% of 150 patients in the control group. Mortality was 16 (5.3%) in the main group, and 24 (16%) - in the control group. CONCLUSIONS Pancreatic stenting reduced infection by 3, 2 times, and mortality by 4 times. The dosage of Octreotide was personalized depending on the severity of the disease according to APACHE II.
