A 44-year-old man visited our hospital with complaints of abdominal fullness and discomfort for I week, though he had been admitted to another hospital because of an attack of acute pancreatitis about 2 weeks ago. At that time, abdominal computed tomography (CT) demonstrated a pancreatic cyst in the body. On admission, abdominal sonography revealed a 10 × 8 cm cyst located in the pancreas body and closely contacted with the gastric wall. Under the impression of pancreatic pseudocyst, endoscopic cystogastrostomy with a 7-Fr double pigtail stent for internal drainage was performed. Because of clogging of the stent and the infection of the pseudocyst, another cystogastrostomy with a 12-Fr stent was carried out several days later. The previous 7-Fr stent was accidentally pushed into the pseudocyst during the second procedure. Since the repeated abdominal sonography demonstrated a small residual pancreatic pseudocyst 10 more days later, the 12-Fr stent was removed endoscopically, followed by an insertion of a Dormia basket into the residual cyst from the cystogastrostomy entrance, through the endoscopic working channel. We tried to grasp the floating stent under the guidance of fluoroscopy and the stent was successfully retrieved I hour later. The patient was discharged the next day. He no longer suffered from abdominal discomfort, and there was no evidence of recurrence of pancreatic pseudocyst by imaging studies throughout the following 8 mons of OPD follow-up. |
