Study Overview

Registry of Pancreatic Fluid Collections and Pancreatic Cysts

This registry aims to assess the outcomes of patients undergoing EUS-guided interventions of pancreatic fluid collections and EUS examination of pancreatic cyst lesions.

For pancreatic fluid collections, data included in this registry are 292 variables on patient demographics (age, gender, race), symptoms at presentation, severity of disease prior to intervention, indications for undergoing endoscopic intervention, details of the pancreatic fluid collections on cross-sectional imaging and EUS, review of laboratory results, review of imaging, details of interventions performed for pancreatic fluid collections, clinical details following intervention, adverse events from interventions and pancreatitis/pancreatic fluid collections, interventions for any adverse events, response to treatment of pancreatic fluid collections including any hospital readmissions, recurrence of pancreatic fluid collections, need for repeat interventions for pancreatic fluid collections, details of pancreatic duct integrity such as the presence of disconnected pancreatic duct syndrome, and clinical status at follow-up. For pancreatic cysts, data included in this registry are 60 variables on patient demographics (age, gender, race), symptoms at presentation, imaging modality performed to detect the cyst, features of the cyst on EUS, features of the main pancreatic duct on EUS, technical details of EUS-guided sampling of the cystic fluid, results of cyst fluid analysis including cytology, tumor markers, amylase levels, molecular markers, final diagnosis of the cyst on follow-up, details of any follow up evaluation performed, details of repeat examinations performed and details of any treatment performed for the pancreatic cyst.

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group/ArmIntervention/Treatment
: Pancreatic fluid collections

Patients with pancreatic fluid collections undergoing endoscopy-based (EUS-guided) interventions

PROCEDURE: Endoscopy-based (EUS-guided) interventions for pancreatic fluid collections

  • Data included are patient demographics, symptoms, disease severity, procedural indications, details of the pancreatic fluid collection on cross-sectional imaging/EUS, review of laboratory results/imaging, details of interventions, clinical response to int
: Pancreatic cysts

Patients with pancreatic cysts undergoing EUS examination and possible EUS-guided sampling of cystic fluid.

PROCEDURE: EUS of pancreatic cysts

  • Data included are patient demographics (age, gender, race), symptoms at presentation, imaging modality performed to detect the cyst, cyst features on EUS, technical details of EUS-guided sampling, results of cyst fluid analysis, final diagnosis, any follo
Primary Outcome MeasuresMeasure DescriptionTime Frame
Treatment success in patients with pancreatic fluid collections following endoscopic interventionsThe treatment success of a structured, algorithmic approach to the management of pancreatic fluid collections will be evaluated. Structured approach involves management strategies based on the type (pseudocyst vs. necrosis), size, number, location of the pancreatic fluid collection, degree of necrosis, need for adjunctive percutaneous drain placement, and presence of disconnected pancreatic duct syndrome.6 months (minimum)
Natural history and disease progression in pancreatic cystsThe relationship between patient characteristics, clinical symptoms, cyst and pancreatic duct characteristics on cross-sectional imaging and on EUS examination, results of cyst sampling (including cytology, tumor markers, amylase, molecular markers) and final diagnosis on follow-up with be determined.6 months (minimum) to 5 years
Secondary Outcome MeasuresMeasure DescriptionTime Frame
Number of interventions required for treatment success in patients with pancreatic fluid collectionsThe total number of procedures (including transmural drainage and endoscopic necrosectomy) required to achieve treatment success (defined as resolution of symptoms and fluid collection on imaging) in patients with pancreatic fluid collections at 6 months follow up.6 months (minimum)
Treatment failure in patients with pancreatic fluid collectionsThe rate of failure (defined as need for rescue surgery or death due to underlying disease or intervention) of EUS-guided treatment of pancreatic fluid collections will be assessed6 months (minimum) to 5 years
Adverse events in patients undergoing EUS-guided drainage of pancreatic fluid collectionsThe rate and type of adverse events in patients undergoing EUS-guided drainage of pancreatic fluid collections will be assessed6 months (minimum) to 5 years
Impact of disconnected pancreatic duct syndrome in patients undergoing EUS-guided drainage of pancreatic fluid collectionsThe impact of disconnected pancreatic duct syndrome in patients undergoing EUS-guided drainage of pancreatic fluid collections on treatment success and disease recurrence will be assessed.6 months (minimum) to 5 years
Impact of placement of long-term plastic transmural stents in patients with pancreatic fluid collections and disconnected pancreatic duct syndromeThe impact of placement of long-term plastic transmural stents in patients with pancreatic fluid collections and disconnected pancreatic duct syndrome will be assessed.6 months (minimum) to 5 years
Treatment success in patients with pancreatic fluid collections undergoing a structured approach to endoscopic necrosectomy following EUS-guided drainage of pancreatic fluid collectionsThe treatment success of a structured approach endoscopic necrosectomy following EUS-guided drainage of pancreatic fluid collections will be assessed. The structured approach to endoscopic necrosectomy involves three steps - debridement, extraction and irrigation.6 months (minimum) to 5 years
Hospital admissions and reinterventions in patients undergoing EUS-guided drainage of pancreatic fluid collectionsThe number of hospital admissions and reinterventions in patients undergoing EUS-guided drainage of pancreatic fluid collections will be assessed6 months (minimum) to 5 years
Recurrence of pancreatic fluid collections in patients undergoing EUS-guided drainage of pancreatic fluid collectionsThe rate of recurrence of pancreatic fluid collections in patients undergoing EUS-guided drainage of pancreatic fluid collections will be assessed6 months (minimum) to 5 years
Evaluate the role of plastic stents in patients undergoing EUS-guided drainage of pancreatic fluid collections.Evaluate the role of plastic stents in the era of LAMS specifically pertaining to a) exchange of LAMS for plastic stents in patients with disconnected pancreatic duct syndrome after PFC resolution and b) use of plastic stents as the primary mode of drainage in patients with pseudocysts and obstructive/disconnecte main pancreatic duct.6 months (minimum) to 5 years
