Pancreatic duct (PD) obstruction and hypertension may play a central role in the onset and progression of acute pancreatitis (AP). However, only a few studies have reported using pancreatic stenting to relieve PD obstruction in the early phase of AP, with conflicting results. Whether pancreatic stenting is effective in the early phase of AP remains unknown. We conducted this experiment in order to study the therapeutic efficacy and safety of pancreatic stenting in the early stage of AP.
