Percutaneous pancreatography under ultrasonographic guidance

Purpose: The aim of the study was to evaluate percutaneous pancreatography as an alternative method for pancreatic duct visualisation in patients with pancreatic disease. Material and methods: In 21 patients with pancreatic disease and previously unsuccessful ERCP, puncture of the pancreatic duct was carried out under ultrasonographic guidance with an 0.7-mm Chiba needle, and contrast injection was made under fluoroscopic control in pancreatic duct. Rasults:The procedure was successful in 18 patients (86%). In 10 patients, chronic pancreatitis was found, and in 8 patients pancreatic carcinoma. Conclusion: Percutaneous pancreatography is a good alternative method for visualisation of the pancreatic duct in patients with pancreatic disease and previously unsuccessful ERCP.
