Background While stent characteristics are important determinants of treatment outcomes in
walled-off pancreatic necrosis (WOPN), their relationship to outcomes in pseudocysts is …

Background Transmural stents are placed at endoscopy to drain pancreatic fluid collections.
This study evaluated the relationship between stent placement and treatment outcomes in …

BACKGROUND: Although prior studies evaluated the role of EUS and EGD for drainage of
pancreatic pseudocysts, there are no randomized trials that compared the technical …

Objective To compare the efficiency of plastic and metal stents for symptomatic pancreatic
pseudocyst (PP) drainage and analyze other main associated factors that affect the outcome …

Background Endoscopic ultrasound (EUS)-guided transmural drainage of pancreatic
pseudocysts by using multiple plastic or fully covered self-expandable metal stents …

BACKGROUND: Single-step EUS-guided transmural drainage of pseudocysts has been
reported, but there are no published prospective studies on clinical outcomes. OBJECTIVE …

Background/Aim. Endoscopic transmural drainage is a minimally invasive alternative to
surgery or percutaneous drainage of pancreatic pseudocyst. Limitation of this technique is …

Results: A total of 92 patients were included (66 men, 26 women; median age 49 years). The
technical success rate of the drainage procedure was 97% and the mortality rate was 1 …

Background Endoscopic transmural drainage of pancreatic pseudocysts (PPs) by using
double-pigtail (DP) plastic stents requires placement of multiple stents and can be restricted …

Background: Endoscopic ultrasound (EUS)-guided cystogastrostomy with a single 7-French
(Fr) double-pigtail stent (DPS) is less popular due to the concern of stent patency. We aimed …
