OR-THER-05: Lumen-apposing large diameter fully covered self-expandable metallic stents facilitate but do not obviate the need for endoscopic debridement in infected collections

摘要

Background and Objectives:Lumen-apposing large diameter fully covered self-expandable metallic stents (LAFCSEMS) customized for the drainage of pancreatic fluid collections are now available. LAFCSEMS allow more effective drainage as compared to plastic stents (PSs), and an endoscope can be easily inserted for direct endoscopic debridement and direct endoscopic necrosectomy (DEN). The large diameter may allow solid debris to pass out spontaneously. This study examined whether LAFCSEMS can reduce the need for DEN.
