Objective  To summarize the experience of sequentially minimally invasive treatment for aged and high risk symptomatic pancreatic pseudocyst under ultrasound guided percutaneous catheter drainage combined with endoscopic technique.
Methods  The clinical data of 30 patients with aged and high risk pancreatic pseudocyst treated from January 2009 to January 2012 in this hospital were analyzed retrospectively.
Results  Percutaneous tubes were successfully placed in 30 patients, cystic liquid was sufficiently drained, and the compression symptom of cyst was relieved immediately. After stable disease, 12 patients with communicating cysts were diagnosed by using endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography. Pancreatic duct stents were inserted in 12 patients with communicating cysts for 60-90d (with an average 70d) after endoscopic sphincterectomy and endoscopic pancreatic sphincterectomy. Cysts disappeared in the other 18 cases receiving external drainage with external drainage tubes, the drainage time was 15-90 d with an average 30d. Neither recurrence nor complications were found in all the cases during 12-21 months (with an average 18 months) follow-up.
Conclusion  Interventional ultrasound combined with endoscopic technique sequentially minimally invasive treatment for aged and high risk symptomatic pancreatic pseudocyst has superiorities in little trauma, fewer complications, and exact effect.
