NCT05307861

Brief Summary

Multiple risk factors have been linked with post-endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography pancreatitis (PEP); therefore, it is critical to follow strategies to reduce associated risk, morbidity, and mortality. However, there are also factors, such as pancreatic duct stenting, which have shown evidence of PEP prevention. The investigators pursue to compare plastic vs biodegradable pancreatic stents in the prevention of PEP.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • PEP prevention at 72 hours

    Determine if plastic or biodegradable pancreatic stent placement renders PEP prevention. PEP is defined as proposed by Cotton et al in 1991(new hospitalization admission or 2/3-day hospital stay extension due to an abdominal pain suggestive of pancreatitis, plus a threefold increase of serum amylase/lipase above the normal limits 24 hours post-procedure).

    up to 72 hours after randomization

Secondary Outcomes (1)

  • PEP prevention at 4 weeks

    up to 4 weeks after randomization

Study Arms (2)

Pancreatic duct stenting with plastic stent

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

Plastic pancreatic duct stent placement (5fr x 4 cm) for patients in need of pancreatic duct stenting during ERCP.

Device: Pancreatic duct stenting with plastic stentDevice: Pancreatic duct stenting with Biodegradable Stent

Pancreatic duct stenting with Biodegradable Stent

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

Biodegradable pancreatic duct stent placement (6fr x 4 cm or 6fr x 4 cm) for patients in need of pancreatic duct stenting during ERCP.
