Cystotome을 이용한 난치성 췌장관 협착의 치료: 단일 센터 연구 = Treatment of Difficult Pancreatic Duct Strictures Using a Cystotome: A Single-Center Experience

국문 초록 (Abstract)

배경/목적: 내시경 역행 췌담관 조영술(endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancrea-tography, ERCP)은 췌관에서의 협착과 폐쇄를 유발하는 질환을 치료하는 데 유용한 방법 중 하나이다. 하지만, 협착 및 폐쇄가 심하여 악세서리가 통과하지 않아 ERCP 시술에 어려움이 생기기도 한다. 이때 투열 카테터의 일종인 cystotome은 하나의 옵션이 될 수 있을 것으로 보인다. 이 논문에서는 cystotome을 사용한 시술 경험을 논해보고자 한다.
방법: 2019년 11월부터 2022년 10월까지 단일 삼차병원에서 ERCP를 시행한 환자들을 대상으로 후향적으로 분석하였다. 이 중 가이드 와이어는 통과되지만 액세서리가 통과하지 않는 7명의 환자에서 cystotome이 8번 활용되었다.
결과: 8번 전부 기술적 성공을 이루어 cystotome 시행 이후 협착부를 풍선 카테터가 원활히 통과되었다. Cystotome을 사용한 첫 번째 ERCP 이후 두 번째 ERCP에서, 추가 시술 없이 풍선 카테터가 협착부를 통과하는 기능적 성공은 8번 중 6번(75.0%)에서 달성하였다. 합병증의 경우, 시술 중 1번에서만 시술 후 2일가량 추가 입원하게 되는 경한 췌장염이 발생하였고 보존적인 치료 후 호전되었다.
결론: 이를 바탕으로 보았을 때 췌관의 심한 협착에서 대안 중 하나로 cystotome은 좋은 선택지로 보인다.

Background/Aim: Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) is one of the useful treatment for treating diseases that cause pancreatic duct stenosis. However, if the stenosis is severe, accessories other than the guide wire cannot pass through. This makes the ERCP procedure difficult. At this time, cystotome, a type of diathermic dilator seems to be an option. In this paper, we would like to discuss the experience of treatment procedures using cystotome.
Methods: Patients who underwent ERCP at a single tertiary hospital from November 2019 to October 2022 were analyzed retrospectively. Among them, cystotome was used in eight procedures in seven patients who passed the guide wire but failed to pass the stenosis.
Results: Technical success was achieved in all eight times. All the balloon catheter smoothly passed through the stenosis after cystotome was performed. In the second ERCP, it was a functional success for the balloon catheter to pass through stenosis without further treatment. This was achieved in 6 out of 8 (75.0%). In the case of complications, only one of the total successful procedures developed mild pancreatitis, which led to additional hospitalization for about two days after the procedure, and improved after conservative treatment.
Conclusions: Based on this, cystotome seems to be a good option as an alternative treatment to severe stenosis of the pancreatic duct.
