A case of endoscopic minor duodenal papillectomy after pancreatic stent placement using an endoscopic ultrasonography-guided rendezvous method.

Video 1The duct was cannulated with a modified MTW catheter using the hitch-and-ride method. A duodenal flap of the 5F, 7-cm pancreatic plastic stent was cut with a surgical scalpel and tied to the duodenal edge of the stent with a 0.3-mm silk suture. The suture tied to the stent was ligated at the center. The sutured stent was inserted into the pancreatic duct above the minor duodenal papilla. The tumor and silk suture were held together by a 25-mm oval polypectomy snare and were resected. The suture tied to the pancreatic plastic stent was grasped by biopsy forceps and pulled into the duodenum.
