Methods The included studies compared TM with CD and reported clinical success for both
methods. A random-effects model was used to determine the pooled odds ratios (ORs) and …

Background and Aim Metal stents are being used more frequently for transmural endoscopic
drainage of pancreatic fluid collections (PFC) despite lack of data. The present systematic …

Abstract Background and Aim: The role of pancreatic duct (PD) stenting in patients
undergoing endoscopic transmural drainage of peripancreatic fluid collection (PFC) remains …

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

Background Endoscopic ultrasound (EUS)-guided transmural drainage allows treatment of
symptomatic peripancreatic fluid collections (PFCs), with lumen-apposing metal stents …

METHODS: This was a multicenter retrospective study. Consecutive patients who underwent
TMD, TPD, or combined drainage (CD) of PFCs were included. The primary outcome was to …

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 and Aims The need for transpapillary drainage (TPD) in patients undergoing
transmural drainage (TMD) of pancreatic fluid collections (PFCs) remains unclear. The aims …
