Active clinical trials for "Pancreatic Pseudocyst"

The Xlumena AXIOS Stent and Delivery System is an investigational device in the USA, and this study is being conducted under an Investigational Device Exemption (IDE) granted by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The study design is prospective, multi-center, non-blinded, single-arm (nonrandomized) study. Up to 10 sites in the United States, European Community and/or Japan will enroll a total of 24 patients. A majority of the patients will be enrolled in the United States. Patients will be followed at (approximately) 30 days and/or 60 days depending upon pseudocyst resolution confirmation, at 1-week post-stent removal,and possibly at 3 and 6 month post-stent removal.

To study the safety and effectiveness of the AXIOS Stent with Electrocautery Enhanced Delivery System for endoscopic trans enteric drainage of pancreatic pseudocyst and walled-off necrosis in Chinese population, to support the regulatory approval by CFDA

The disruption of the pancreatic duct seems to be a major cause pseudocyst formation and persistence in patients suffering from acute/chronic pancreatitis. No prospective randomized studies have been conducted on the influence of pancreatic duct stenting for the patients' benefits and recurrence rates. The aim fo this study is therefore to evaluate prospectively in a randomized, controlled fashion in patients wit pancreatic pseudocysts, wether pancreatic duct stenting of a disrupted pancreatic duct is beneficial in terms of quicker clinical recovery and avoidance of recurrence of pancreatic pseudocysts.

The laser tissue welding device is intended for use in patients requiring sealing of the pancreas after partial pancreatectomy, and including those patients who are fully heparinized or have hemodilutional coagulation failure. The hypothesis is that the laser tissue welding device is safe and effective in sealing the pancreas, thereby decreasing the blood loss (operative and post-operative), and pancreatic juice leakage for patients when the Laser Tissue Welding device is used after pancreatic resection.

The purpose of this study is to compare the effect of lumen-apposing metal stent (LAMS) and double pigtail plastic stents (DPPSs) on the drainage of pancreatic walled-off necrosis (WON), mainly to observe the efficacy and safety of LAMS for WON.

The purpose of this study is to compare the effect of lumen-apposing metal stent (LAMS) and traditional plastic stent on the drainage of pancreatic pseudocyst, mainly to observe the cyst recurrence rate of 12 months after treatment.

EUS-guided pseudocyst drainage has been used world widely. Now, most endoscopists tend to place several stents to drain the content of cyst into GI tract. In the investigators experience, a modified naso-pancreatic tube drainage was more safer, easier and cheaper than placement of stents. Moreover, none of pseudocysts(total 19) drained by this modified naso-pancreatic tube drainage method were found recurrent with a follow up period from 3 months-34 months. So, the investigators designed this prospective random comparing study to confirm the result.

Pancreatic pseudocysts (PP) present as a complication that occurs in 5-15% of acute pancreatitis and 26-40% of chronic pancreatitis (1-3). To date the endoscopic drainage with endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) has replace the surgical treatment due to the similar success and complication rate but with a lower cost and short hospital stay (4-6). Regarding recurrence, it is important to know the anatomy of the main pancreatic duct (MPD). For this purpose, the endoscopic retrograde pancreatography (ERP) has been describe as a useful tool. In fact, many authors perform it before the endoscopic drainage while others wait several weeks after the drainage (7-9) with similar technical success (5,8). However, there are no studies that compare the technical difficulty and the total cost between these two approaches.

The objective is to clarify Roux-en-Y anastomosis of the pancreatic stump decreases pancreatic fistula following distal pancreatectomy, compared with stapling closure of the pancreatic stump.

The purpose of this study is to study the evaluation of the effectiveness of endoscopic Pancreatic Pseudocyst drainage using a metal stent.
