ID: 3523063 EUS-GUIDED DRAINAGE OF NON-ADHERENT PANCREATIC FLUID COLLECTIONS USING THE NOVEL 15MM LENGTH LUMEN-APPOSING METAL STENT

Abstract:

Background EUS-guided placement of lumen apposing metal stents (LAMS) for drainage of pancreatic fluid collections (PFCs) including pancreatic pseudocysts (PP) and walled off necrosis (WON) has rapidly gained popularity. Despite this, the design of existing stents has largely limited use to collections located within 10mm from the luminal wall. The novel 15mm length LAMS (AXIOS, Boston Scientific, Marlborough, USA) allows treatment of previously excluded, more distant/non-adherent PFCs. Aim To evaluate the feasibility, early clinical outcomes and safety of the 15mm length LAMS in EUS-guided drainage of PFCs located≥ 10mm from the luminal wall. Methods We conducted an international multicenter retrospective analysis. Consecutive adult patients who underwent EUS-guided PFC drainage with 15mm length LAMS for collections located≥ 10mm from luminal wall between October 2019 and November …
