ARTICLE HIGHLIGHTS
Case characteristics
A 55-year-old woman was referred to our hospital with abdominal pain and distension resulting from a history of pancreatic pseudocyst.
Clinical diagnosis
Pancreatic pseudocyst.
Differential diagnosis
Walled-off necrosis and pancreatic cystic tumors.
Laboratory diagnosis
No specific laboratory testing contributed to the diagnosis of the pancreatic pseudocyst.
Imaging diagnosis
Abdominal contrast-enhanced computed tomography, magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography and endoscopic ultrasound examinations showed a pseudocyst in the tail of pancreas.
Pathological diagnosis
Pancreatic pseudocyst.
Treatment
We performed endoscopic ultrasound-guided drainage with massive bleeding and used a balloon dilator to compress the bleeding sites.
Related reports
To our knowledge, using balloon compression to achieve effective hemostasis in EUS-guided drainage for pancreatogenic portal hypertension-related bleeding has not been previously reported.
Term explanation
Endoscopic ultrasound-guided drainage with stenting is recognized as the standard first-line approach for a symptomatic pancreatic pseudocyst.
Experiences and lessons
Balloon compression is a novel and effective form of hemostasis for endoscopic ultrasound-guided drainage with bleeding. Although this method was successful in this case, additional cases are needed to confirm our findings.
