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

Background and Aim. EUS-guided transmural drainage (EUS-GTD) is now considered a
minimally invasive and effective alternative to surgery for drainage of symptomatic …

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 …

We carried out the first meta-analysis comparing the technical success and clinical
outcomes of endoscopic ultrasound-guided drainage (EUD) and conventional transmural …

Background and aim Pancreatic pseudocysts (PPC) are a complication that occurs in acute
and chronic pancreatitis. They comprise 75% of cystic lesions of the pancreas. There are …

Study design This prospective cohort study was approved by the Institutional Review Board

BACKGROUND: Increasingly, peripancreatic fluid collections (PFCs) are managed
endoscopically with conventional transmural drainage (CTD). The role of interventional EUS …

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 …

Methods Endoscopic drainage of pancreatic pseudocysts was performed in 47 patients
(median age, 46 years; range, 38 years to 59 years; 40 men) by using interventional …

Objective: Endoscopic ultrasound (EUS)-guided drainage is a widely used treatment
modality for pancreatic pseudocysts (PPC). However, data on the clinical outcome and …
