About this study

Official title: Study on Predictive Factors, Safety and Efficacy of Endoscopic Retrograde Accessory Pancreatography in Chronic Pancreatitis: a Prospective Cohort Study

Chronic pancreatitis (CP) can manifest characteristic pathological modifications such as pancreatic duct stenosis and pancreatic duct lithiasis. The endoscopic access to the main pancreatic duct through the major duodenal papilla is prevalently recognized as the most preponderant approach for endoscopic treatment of CP. Given that a multitude of CP patients are accompanied by main pancreatic duct stricture and distortion, certain patients encounter failure in main papilla angiography or are unable to achieve deep cannulation of the pancreatic duct, thus necessitating endoscopic retrograde accessory pancreatic ductography via the accessory papilla to augment the success rate of endoscopic drainage. Presently, there lacks a large - scale case report concerning the proportion of patients receiving main and accessory pancreatic ductography treatment and the safety and efficacy of endoscopic retrograde accessory pancreatic ductography in the treatment of CP. This study endeavors to establish a prospective cohort to document the proportion of CP patients undergoing main and accessory pancreatic duct angiography treatment and their clinical features during the initial endoscopic retrograde pancreatography (ERP). The main analysis centers on identifying the predictive factors for resorting to accessory pancreatic duct treatment subsequent to the failure of primary pancreatic duct angiography and assessing the safety and efficacy of endoscopic retrograde accessory pancreatic ductography in the treatment of CP.

Read the detailed description

In recent years, with the development of endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) technology, therapeutic ERCP has emerged as a first - line therapeutic modality for CP owing to its advantages of minimal invasiveness and high-level safety. The endoscopic access to the main pancreatic duct through the major duodenal papilla is commonly recognized as the preponderant approach for endoscopic treatment of CP. Nevertheless, in clinical practice, it has been observed that in a portion of CP patients, due to pancreatic divisum, distortion or stricture of the main pancreatic duct or other reasons, either the main papilla angiography fails or deep cannulation of the pancreatic duct cannot be achieved, thereby necessitating endoscopic retrograde accessory pancreatic ductography via the minor papilla. Previously, two small-sample retrospective studies analyzed the scenarios where CP patients with main pancreatic duct obstruction resulting from calculi, stenosis, etc. required attempts at accessory pancreatic ductography. The results demonstrated favorable safety and efficacy of accessory pancreatic duct treatment. In this prospective study, CP patients undergoing ERP for the first time in the pancreatic disease area of the Gastroenterology Department of Changhai Hospital were enrolled. After routine main papilla angiography, those with failed treatment via the main pancreatic duct were subjected to an attempt at endoscopic retrograde accessory pancreatic ductography through the minor papilla. Based on the distinct endoscopic retrograde angiography modalities and treatment outcomes in clinical practice, different subgroups were established. The number of cases receiving treatment via the main and accessory pancreatic ducts was tallied respectively. The clinical features of CP patients with successful main pancreatic duct drainage and those with failed drainage were compared. Emphasis was placed on analyzing the predictive factors for CP patients with failed main pancreatic duct angiography who then attempted accessory pancreatic duct angiography, as well as evaluating the safety and clinical efficacy of endoscopic retrograde accessory pancreatic ductography in CP patients.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Success rate of accessory pancreatic ductography.

    The success rate of accessory pancreatic ductography is the percentage of successful imaging operations of the accessory pancreatic duct, crucial for assessing the efficacy of relevant procedures.

    Measured: during ERCP procedure

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. post-ERCP complications

    Major post-ERCP complications includes post-ERCP pancreatitis, bleeding, infection, and perforation, which are classified as mild, moderate, or severe, depending mainly on the length of hospitalization and the need for invasive treatment.

    Measured: 30 days after ERCP procedure

  2. clearance rates of pancreatic duct stones

    Clearance rates have been defined as complete, partial, or failure if the proportion of stones cleared was > 90%, 50% - 90%, or < 50%, respectively

    Measured: during ERCP procedure
