Article Synopsis
- A study assessed a new ultrasound-based algorithm for determining when to remove pancreatic stents placed to prevent post-ERCP pancreatitis, aiming to minimize unnecessary X-ray imaging.
- Out of 88 patients, the ultrasound approach successfully reduced the need for X-rays by 74%, accurately visualizing stents in 81% of cases but with limited specificity.
- The authors recommend implementing the ultrasound algorithm with training for experienced personnel due to challenges with visualizing shorter stents.
