Article Synopsis
- A new self-expanding metal stent with bilateral flanges was tested for draining pancreatic fluid collections (PFCs) via endoscopic ultrasound (EUS), focusing on its effectiveness and safety.
- In a study with 61 patients, the stent was successfully placed in 98% of cases, and clinical success rates were high at 93% for pancreatic pseudocysts and 81% for walled-off necrosis (WON).
- While there were some complications (9%), the overall findings suggest that using this stent for EUS-guided drainage is both feasible and effective.
