AI Article Synopsis
- Endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) interventions have advanced significantly, primarily due to the development of metal stents, especially biflanged short metal-covered stents like lumen-apposing metal stents (LAMS).
- LAMS are frequently utilized for EUS-guided drainage in conditions like pancreatic fluid collections and are also applied in gallbladder drainage and gastroenterostomy procedures.
- The review examines recent innovations in self-expandable metal stents (SEMS) for EUS-guided interventions and highlights related research findings.
Article Abstract
Endoscopic ultrasound (EUS)-guided interventions have evolved rapidly in recent years, with dedicated metal stents playing a crucial role in this process. Specifically, the invention of biflanged short metal-covered stents, including lumen-apposing metal stents (LAMS), and modifications in a variety of tubular self-expandable metal stents (SEMS), have led to innovations in EUS-guided interventions. LAMS or non-LAMS stents are commonly used in the EUS-guided drainage of pancreatic fluid collections, especially in cases of walled-off necrosis. Additionally, LAMS is commonly considered for drainage of the EUS-guided gallbladder or dilated common bile duct and EUS-guided gastroenterostomy. Fully or partially covered tubular SEMS with several new designs are being considered for EUS-guided biliary drainage. This review focuses on advances in SEMS for EUS-guided interventions and discusses related research results.
