Filter by:Physicians need a tracking system for specific treatment modalities, and data to determine the impact of endoscopic ultrasound pain management for patients with chronic pancreatitis.
This multicenter randomized trial aims to primarily assess and compare the functional recovery of patients who undergo open versus robotic pancreaticoduodenectomy for benign and malignant lesions of the head of the pancreas.
Alcohol is the common precipitating factor for both cirrhosis of liver as well as alcohol related chronic pancreatitis. However, in real life clinical setting, clinicians do not frequently see many cases of symptomatic pancreatitis in patients who present with features of cirrhosis of liver. On the contrary, in some patients presenting with alcohol related chronic pancreatitis, evidence of cirrhosis of liver is observed on imaging without other clinical features of cirrhosis.
Investigation of the efficacy and safety of digital catheter-based pancreatoscopy (DCP) for the Treatment of symptomatic Stones of the pancreatic duct in selected patients with chronic calcifying pancreatitis (CCP)
IRFARPC is a multicenter national registry designed to study the diagnosis and predisposing factors of subjects with an inherited increased risk for pancreatic cancer.
Recurrent acute pancreatitis and recurrent relapses of inflammation in chronic pancreatitis are an important problem. In some cases, prevention of these acute flares of inflammation is not possible. Population-based studies and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials suggest that statins may decrease the incidence of acute pancreatitis. SIMBA aims to investigate the effect of simvastatin on the incidence of new episodes of pancreatitis in recurrent acute pancreatitis and chronic pancreatitis. This is a non-profit, researcher-driven placebo-controlled multicenter (27 Spanish centers) randomized controlled trial
Observational prospective study evaluating the developement of chronic pancreatitis based on imaging modalities as well as biochemical markers of inflammation, fibrosis and oxidative stress.
Magnetic anastomosis has been attempted in biliary and intestinal reconstruction. Based on our initial experience, the investigators have successfully utilized magnetic anastomosis for biliojejunostomy and pancreaticojejunostomy during pancreaticoduodenectomy. The current study was to design a prospective and case-control study with utilization of magnetic compression anastomosis for pancreaticojejunostomy and biliojejunostomy in Whipple's procedure versus traditional hand-sewn technique on the postoperative morbidity, such as biliary/pancreatic fistula, hemorrhage, anastomotic stenosis, etc. In addition, the investigators are seeking to assess the safety and formation of the anastomosis by magnetic technique.
In recent five years, the investigators have successfully developed different types of magnets and utilized in biliojejunostomy, concomitant biliojejunostomy and pancreaticojejunostomy during Whipple. This study is designed as a prospective study by utilization of the bar-like magnets for pancreaticojejunostomy.
Randomized pilot trial of patients (n=30) undergoing Total Pancreatectomy and Islet AutoTransplant (TPIAT). Patients with islet harvest of greater than 5000 islet equivalents/kg body weight will be randomized to receive a portion of their islets into an omental pouch. For outcomes related to islet function, a group of normal volunteers (n=15) will be studied as a comparator group.
