Abstract
Background
Patients with acute necrotizing pancreatitis (ANP) undergoing endoscopic necrosectomy (EN) are at risk of bleeding associated with the debridement devices used. This study aimed to analyze the bleeding rates associated with different devices and identify predictors of intraprocedural bleeding.
Methods
In this single-center retrospective study, patients undergoing EN between 2014 and 2022 were categorized by the type of debridement device(s) used. Bleeding rates were compared, and univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses were conducted to determine independent risk factors.
Results
A total of 969 EN procedures were performed in 447 patients, with intraprocedural bleeding occurring in 175 instances (18.1%). Among single-device applications, the snare demonstrated the lowest bleeding rate (9.8%), significantly lower than the basket (17.9%) and grasping forceps (23.7%) (P < 0.05). The combination of all three devices yielded the highest bleeding rate (30.9%) (P = 0.005). On multivariate analysis, an increase in the number of necrosectomy sessions, the use of grasping forceps, and the combined application of all three devices were independently associated with a significantly higher intraprocedural bleeding rate (P < 0.05 for all). Notably, the majority of bleeding events were successfully managed endoscopically without the need for arterial embolization or surgical intervention.
Conclusion
Bleeding rate was higher in patients where a combination of devices was used, and the use of snare appeared safer.
期刊介绍:
Pancreatology is the official journal of the International Association of Pancreatology (IAP), the European Pancreatic Club (EPC) and several national societies and study groups around the world. Dedicated to the understanding and treatment of exocrine as well as endocrine pancreatic disease, this multidisciplinary periodical publishes original basic, translational and clinical pancreatic research from a range of fields including gastroenterology, oncology, surgery, pharmacology, cellular and molecular biology as well as endocrinology, immunology and epidemiology. Readers can expect to gain new insights into pancreatic physiology and into the pathogenesis, diagnosis, therapeutic approaches and prognosis of pancreatic diseases. The journal features original articles, case reports, consensus guidelines and topical, cutting edge reviews, thus representing a source of valuable, novel information for clinical and basic researchers alike.
