Pseudocyst Stents

The Pancreas pseudocyst stent is used for reliable drainage of endoscopic removal of concrement. The design of the stent with its distal umbrella form and proximal tulip causes that during an eventual migration only a dislocation into the stomach occurs and not into the cyst. By the large diameter of 16 mm in the middle of the stent it is possible to remove concrement endoscopically. The 10.5 French TTS (through-the-scope) insertion system is brought into position through the working channel of the endoscope with the aid of a guide wire. When the stent is released, 4 radiopaque markers at each end of the stent ensure excellent identification on radiological images.

 Specific characteristics:

Stent with complete silicone covering High degree of positional stability Atraumatic tips High level of radial force Tantalum radiomarkers TTS insertion system Guide wire passage up to 0.035 inches.

 KEY BENEFITS

new bridge between gastrointestinal lumen and pancreas

 self-expanding stent with mashroom and umbrella ends, more safety   (mashroom avoid the stent dropping into the pancreas, umbrella for easy-retrieval)

 special safe lock to ensure the release process in the safe condition

 fully covering, to prevent the hyperplasia

Giant Pancreatic Pseudocyst with Laparoscopic Management, Case Report 

I'm officially unemployed, this isn't shocking or anything. I work at an amusement park so it happens every fall. But it's really odd for me. Since going into the hospital in February I've worked all summer. Granted some weeks more then others, and I definitely started off slow.

But now I can spend much more time pancreatitising up tumblr!

As far as being pregnant with pancreatitis/a pseudocyst, well. I'm still waiting on that. My last apt basically said they wouldn't do anything about it, that I now need to wait until after the pregnancy to do anything. I have my referral apt in a few weeks, so I'll know more then.

One of these days I'll regale the tale of my friend, who went into the hospital the day after I did for pancreatitis. His story is a little different, his pancreas didn't form fully. But he's still having problems with it, and in and out of the hospital. So now that I have time I'll see if I can't write something out. Anyway, he gave me a few ideas to bring up to the doctors that I didn't know about. So I'll do that at my apt.

Anyway, thanks to those of you who hung in there! I'm up to a whopping 25 followers now, so thanks guys! And I'm loading up the Queue even as I type.

a pseudocyst? Like…a fake one?
