Filter by:Acute pancreatitis is the most common and feared complication of ERCP, occurring after 1% to 30% of procedures. Since 2012, a multicenter RCT was published in NEJM, indomethacin use in high risk patients was considered a "standard" method to prevent PEP. The mechanism of indomethacin is dependent on COX-2 inhibitor. According to data, we design the project. The purpose of this study is to determine whether COX-2 inhibitor is effective on control of Post-ERCP pancreatitis.
This multicentre randomised controlled trial included patients aged >18 years with an indication for ERCP and naive major papilla. All patients received 100 mg of rectal indomethacin and 10 ml of either sterile water or a 1:10,000 epinephrine dilution. Patients were asked about PEP symptoms via telephone 24 hours and 7 days after the procedure.
Acute pancreatitis is the most common and feared complication of ERCP, occurring after 1% to 30% of procedures. Since 2012, a multicenter RCT was published in NEJM, indomethacin use in high risk patients was considered a "standard" method to prevent PEP. However, the risk factors of PEP is not fully clear. Additionally, the complication of NSAID use lead to some serious physical problem bleeding. Therefore, the exclusive criteria for limiting the NSAID use is including allergy， gastrointestinal haemorrhage ，presence of coagulopathy or received anticoagulation therapy. Previous study showed that another natural compound, resveratrol, owns similar biological effect with NSAID. Firstly, it could inhibit the inflammatory response on in vivo model through inhibition of COX and IL-6 etc. Secondly, it could not influence the level of platelet and coagulation, which means safer than NSAID. Thirdly, numerous studies showed that resveratrol could effectively the progression of severe acute pancreatitis. According to data, we design the project. The purpose of this study is to determine whether oral resveratrol pre-ERCP is effective on control of Post-ERCP pancreatitis.
Primary objective: To describe and compare the safety and efficacy of treatment with AAT in chronic pancreatitis patients who undergo total pancreatectomy and islet autotransplantation (TP-IAT).
This is a pilot study to investigate the effect of prehabilitation on patients undergoing elective surgery for pancreatic disease.
Pancreatitis remains the most common complication of ERCP, with the reported incidence ranging from 2% to 9%. Although 80% of cases are mild, a significant number of patients may develop severe pancreatitis, that means additional morbidity and risk for death. ERCP, despite the development of new diagnostic tools, remains a widely used procedure, so post-ERCP pancreatitis is a problem with significant impact. Several studies and meta-analyses helped us to recognize special factors that put an individual in high risk for the development of post-ERCP pancreatitis. Among these factors special interest presents the history of post-ERCP pancreatitis as an independent risk factor for a new episode of post-ERCP pancreatitis. It seems that some individuals have a genetically predisposed susceptibility in this particular complication. The aim of the present study is to investigate the possible genetic variation associated with post-ERCP pancreatitis using whole genome sequencing.
This is a prospective, single-center, randomized, placebo-controlled, double-blind clinical trial that aims to investigate the beneficial and harmful effects of prophylactic use of imipenem in patients with predicted severe acute pancreatitis. All patients with first attack of acute pancreatitis, an onset of disease less than 72h before admission, and an APACHE II score ≥ 8 calculated within the first 24h from admission will be enrolled.
Patients with acute pancreatitis will be randomly assigned in either study group to receive oral (injection) Ketorolac or the control group. In patients who cannot tolerate oral medications, ketorolac injection will be used.
The goal of this research study is to learn more about the pancreas. The investigators want to use Magnetic Resonance Cholangiopancreatography (MRCP) to learn more about the size of a normal pancreas. MRCP is a special kind of MRI exam that produces detailed images of the pancreas. The investigators also want to figure out how much fluid the pancreas releases in response to secretin. Secretin is a chemical in the body that causes the pancreas to release fluid that helps with digestion. Secretin is used during the MRCP (MR-PFT) to help identify dysfunction of the pancreas. MR elastography (MRE) will be used to measure how hard the pancreas is. MRE is a special kind of MRI that uses vibrations to image tissue.
There is tremendous variability in regard to provider perception of findings on EUS for chronic pancreatitis. This study performs tandem EUS exams between expert endosonogrpahers to determine the validity of minimal standard criteria.
