Endoscopic ultrasound-guided pancreaticojejunostomy with a forward-viewing echoendoscope as a treatment for stenotic pancreaticojejunal anastomosis

Abstract

A 59-year-old man presented with repeated episodes of pancreatitis. His medical history included a Whipple resection for gastric carcinoma at the age of 54. A computed tomography scan showed a sac-like enlargement of the main pancreatic duct, which had obviously developed over a period of time ([Fig. 1]).
