Evidence on technical success and complication rates in preadolescent children is limited. This study aimed to evaluate the short- and long-term outcomes of ERCP with pancreatic stenting in children with pancreatic conditions. Methods: In this retrospective single-center cohort study, consecutive patients aged \u226412 years who underwent ERCP with pancreatic stenting for acute or chronic pancreatic diseases or pancreatic trauma were included. Demographic, clinical, and procedural data were collected, and complications and clinical response, were assessed. Results: A total of 20 patients (mean age 7 years, range 2\u201312; 45% female) underwent 62 ERCP procedures for pancreatic indications. Nine patients (45%) had a known genetic mutation. Post-ERCP pancreatitis occurred in 2 procedures (3.2%), and bleeding in 1 procedure (1.6%). No perforations or procedure-related mortality were observed. Technical success was achieved in 57\/62 procedures (91.9%), with associated improvement in symptoms, pain, or inflammatory markers. Conclusions: In this pilot study from Sweden, ERCP with pancreatic stenting appears to be a feasible therapeutic option in pre-teen children with pancreatic diseases, with a good technical success rate and relatively low complication rates. Further studies are warranted to better define long-term outcomes in this population.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/jcm15103941","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,5,20]],"date-time":"2026-05-20T14:12:54Z","timestamp":1779286374000},"page":"3941","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Short- and Long-Term Outcomes of Pancreatic ERCP in Pre-Teens: A Swedish Single Center Study"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"15","author":[{"given":"Chiara Maria","family":"Scandavini","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Diagnostics and Intervention, Surgery, Ume\u00e5 University, 901 87 Ume\u00e5, Sweden"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Alexander","family":"Waldthaler","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Upper Abdominal Diseases, Karolinska University Hospital, 171 76 Stockholm, Sweden"},{"name":"Department of Medicine Huddinge (MED H), Karolinska Institutet, 141 83 Stockholm, Sweden"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-6785-2326","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Roberto","family":"Valente","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Diagnostics and Intervention, Surgery, Ume\u00e5 University, 901 87 Ume\u00e5, Sweden"},{"name":"Department of Surgery, Division of Surgical Oncology, University of Colorado School of Medicine, Aurora, CO 80045, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-9581-1767","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Mari","family":"Hult","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Upper Abdominal Diseases, Karolinska University Hospital, 171 76 Stockholm, Sweden"},{"name":"Department of Medicine Huddinge (MED H), Karolinska Institutet, 141 83 Stockholm, Sweden"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Fredrik","family":"Lindgren","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Surgery and Oncology, CLINTEC, Karolinska Institutet, 141 86 Stockholm, Sweden"},{"name":"Division of Pediatric Gastroenterology, Hepatology and Nutrition, Karolinska University Hospital, 171 76 Stockholm, Sweden"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-7647-198X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Johannes Matthias","family":"L\u00f6hr","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Upper Abdominal Diseases, Karolinska University Hospital, 171 76 Stockholm, Sweden"},{"name":"Division of Surgery and Oncology, CLINTEC, Karolinska Institutet, 141 86 Stockholm, Sweden"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Asif","family":"Halimi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Diagnostics and Intervention, Surgery, Ume\u00e5 University, 901 87 Ume\u00e5, Sweden"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Ernesto","family":"Sparrelid","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Upper Abdominal Diseases, Karolinska University Hospital, 171 76 Stockholm, Sweden"},{"name":"Division of Surgery and Oncology, CLINTEC, Karolinska Institutet, 141 86 Stockholm, Sweden"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-1843-5673","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Urban","family":"Arnelo","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Diagnostics and Intervention, Surgery, Ume\u00e5 University, 901 87 Ume\u00e5, Sweden"},{"name":"Division of Surgery and Oncology, CLINTEC, Karolinska Institutet, 141 86 Stockholm, Sweden"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,5,20]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"127","DOI":"10.1055\/a-1075-4080","article-title":"ERCP-Related Adverse Events: European Society of Gastrointestinal Endoscopy (ESGE) Guideline","volume":"52","author":"Dumonceau","year":"2020","journal-title":"Endoscopy"},{"key":"ref_2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"153","DOI":"10.1016\/j.gie.2022.10.005","article-title":"American Society for Gastrointestinal Endoscopy Guideline on Post-ERCP Pancreatitis Prevention Strategies: Summary and Recommendations","volume":"97","author":"Buxbaum","year":"2023","journal-title":"Gastrointest.
