Objective: To report initial experience of endoscopic transluminal drainage of infected pancreatic necrosis.
Material And Methods: There were 8 patients with acute severe pancreatitis and large-focal pancreatic necrosis who underwent transluminal drainage of destruction zones for the period from December 2018 to October 2019.
Results: Transluminal drainage of pancreatogenic destruction zones in acute severe pancreatitis can be considered as the only surgical approach in 50% of cases that is comparable with literature data.

Outcomes and Post-removal Course of Lumen-Apposing Metal Stent Placement for Peripancreatic Fluid Collections: A Comparative Study of Pancreatic Pseudocysts and Walled-Off Necrosis.

Aim: Pancreatic fluid collections (PFCs) are common local complications of pancreatitis that may require interventional therapy. Endoscopic ultrasound (EUS)-guided transluminal drainage from the digestive tract, particularly with lumen-apposing metal stents (LAMS), is the first-line therapy due to its safety and efficacy. However, adverse events and post-removal courses remain uncertain.

Necrotizing pancreatitis (NP) is a severe complication of acute pancreatitis, characterized by necrosis of pancreatic and peripancreatic tissues, leading to significant morbidity and mortality. The role of necrosectomy, the surgical removal of necrotic tissue, in the management of NP has evolved over the past few decades, moving from early aggressive surgical intervention to a more conservative and stepwise approach. This narrative review explores the historical perspectives, current practices, and future trends in the role of necrosectomy in NP.

- Replacing a lumen-apposing metal stent (LAMS) with a double-pigtail plastic stent (DPS) is effective for preventing recurrence of walled-off necrosis, but traditional success rates are low; so a new technique was developed.
- In the new method, a 7-F DPS is placed inside the LAMS to facilitate its removal while allowing granulation to occur, which stabilizes the DPS; out of 18 patients, 17 had successful replacements with no recurrences observed over 385 days.
- Prior to this technique, replacing LAMS with DPS had a low success rate (61.8%), and recurrence of pancreatic fluid collection was noted in 15.3% of patients who could
Gastrovesical fistula as a rare complication following endoscopic transluminal drainage of walled-off necrosis-a case report.
AME Case Rep

Department of Surgery I, Faculty of Medicine and Dentistry, Palacký University Olomouc, Olomouc, Czech Republic.
Article Synopsis
- - This study discusses a rare adverse event (AE) of gastrovesical fistula that occurred after the minimally invasive treatment of pancreatic walled-off necrosis (WON), an approach known to lower risks compared to traditional surgery.
- - A 42-year-old man faced complications from transgastric drainage of a large WON, including inadvertent bladder penetration due to a stent, but was treated through a collaborative, non-surgical effort involving multiple medical specialties.
- - The findings emphasize the need for awareness of potential AEs like gastrovesical fistula in endoscopic procedures and highlight the importance of early recognition and multidisciplinary strategies for effective management.
Proposal of classification and terminology of interventional endoscopic ultrasonography/endosonography.

Article Synopsis
- *The Subcommittee defined five types of I-EUS procedures based on their purpose and method: EUS-guided sampling, EUS-guided through-the-needle examination, EUS-guided drainage/anastomosis, ESCR procedures, and EUS-guided delivery.
- *The proposed classifications aim to clarify I-EUS procedures and will be updated as new techniques and concepts arise in the field.*
