Summary

In adults with walled-off pancreatic necrosis (WON) undergoing endoscopic ultrasound (EUS)-guided transluminal necrosectomy, does early removal of the lumen-apposing metal stent (LAMS) (at 2 weeks or immediately after the last necrosectomy) with placement of a double-pigtail plastic stent (DPT), compared to delayed LAMS removal at 4 weeks without a DPT, result in a lower rate of pancreatic fluid collection (PFC) recurrence or need for reintervention over 12 months.

Conditions

  • Walled Off Necrosis
