Pancreatic cancer is one of the most lethal malignancies, and at least 20% of these cancers stem from progression of mucinous-type pancreatic cysts. 1, 2 Until recently, the only widely accepted options for managing mucinous pancreatic cysts were indefinite radiographic surveillance or invasive surgical resection, both with significant limitations. 3, 4, 5 EUS-guided chemoablation is a rapidly evolving technique, allowing 50% to 79% rates of complete ablation in appropriately selected patients. 3, 6, 7, 8 Main duct intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasms (IPMNs) with high-risk features have been excluded from most ablation trials to date, and no reports of main-duct ablation can be found in a literature search.A 67-year-old man with heart failure presented to our facility for assessment of a cystic mass lesion in the pancreas. EUS-FNA showed high-risk features, and cytopathology results were consistent with IPMN. Enhanced CT scan showed dilation of the main pancreatic duct as seen in Video 1 (available online at www. VideoGIE. org; and Fig. 1). The patient was considered a high-risk surgical candidate given his cardiovascular history. Because of the success and safety of alcohol-free EUS-guided chemoablation at our institution, this option was considered.
