Pancreatic fluid collections (PFCs) are a frequent complication of pancreatitis. It is important
to classify PFCs to guide management. The revised Atlanta criteria classifies PFCs as acute …

Background Pancreatic pseudocysts are a common complication of acute and chronic
pancreatitis. They are diagnosed with imaging studies and can be treated successfully with …

Background & Aims Although surgery is the standard technique for drainage of pancreatic
pseudocysts, use of endoscopic methods is increasing. We performed a single-center, open …

Background & Aims Plastic stents, placed via endoscopy to drain pancreatic fluid collections
(PFCs), require repeat access. Covered metal stents are larger in diameter and can be …

Results: The rate of technical success of the drainage was higher for EUD (94%, 29/31) than
for CTD (72%, 21/29; P= 0.039) in intention-to-treat analysis. In cases where CTD failed (n …

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 …

Objectives Endoscopy is a minimally invasive technique for the drainage of peripancreatic
fluid collections. This study evaluated the clinical outcomes and predictors of treatment …

The continued need to develop less invasive alternatives to surgical and radiologic
interventions has driven the development of endoscopic ultrasound (EUS)-guided …

BACKGROUND: Although EUS-guided cyst-gastrostomy is increasingly being performed,
there are no studies that compare the clinical outcomes and cost-effectiveness with surgical …

Background The purpose of this study is to report our initial experience with a new fully
covered metallic stent with a novel design (AXIOS) to prevent migration and fluid leakage, in …
