Study Overview

EUS-guided Celiac Plexus Neurolysis for the Treatment of Abdominal Pain in Pancreatic Cancer

Studies have shown that injecting local anesthetics in areas rich in blood vessels increases the risk of drug injection into blood vessels by mistake and increases the systemic absorption of drugs, which may increase the incidence of central nervous system and cardiovascular system toxic events caused by local anesthetics.EUS-CPN-related complications have not been clearly associated with local anesthetic adverse events.However, EUS-CPN local anesthetic injection area is located around the beginning of the abdominal trunk with abundant large and small blood vessels. The choice of local anesthetics with higher safety than bupivacaine, such as ropivacaine, is of great significance to ensure the safety of eus-cpn, especially for eus-cpn beginners.At present, there are no reports on the application of ropivacaine in eus-cpn.

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group/ArmIntervention/Treatment
EXPERIMENTAL: ropivacaine

The patients will be carried on EUS-CPN with 10ml 0.75% ropivacaine with 10ml anhydrous alcohol

PROCEDURE: EUS-guided celiac plexus neurolysis
