Trials
December 2019
Article Synopsis
- Lumen-apposing metal stents (LAMS) are increasingly being used for treating pancreatic-fluid collections, specifically walled-off necrosis (WON), but their effectiveness over traditional plastic stents has not yet been established.
- This study is a randomized controlled trial involving 114 patients across nine hospitals in Spain, comparing the efficacy of LAMS to plastic stents in EUS-guided transmural drainage of WON, with a focus on short-term and long-term clinical success and safety.
- The goal of the PROMETHEUS trial is to provide clear evidence on whether LAMS provide superior treatment outcomes compared to plastic stents for patients with WON.
Background: Missed gastric cancer (MGC) is poorly documented in Mediterranean populations.
