Background and Aim Although lumen-apposing metal stents (LAMS) are increasingly being used for drainage of pancreatic fluid collections (PFCs), their advantage over plastic stents is unclear. Methods In this retrospective case-control study, 20 patients who underwent PFC drainage using LAMS were matched with 40 patients treated with plastic stents according to PFC type (walled-off necrosis [WON] vs. pseudocyst) and procedural technique (conventional vs. multi-gate). Main outcome measures were treatment success, re-interventions, clinical and stent-related adverse events, procedu... περισσότερα »
