To Evaluate Early (2-Week) vs. Standard (4-Week) Metal Stent Removal Following Endoscopic Ultrasound Guided WON Drainage
Condition(s) studied
Investigational drug(s) / intervention(s)
Standard LAMS Removal with Double-Pigtail Plastic Stent: In the early stent removal arm, LAMS will be removed at 2 weeks followed by placement of a double-pigtail plastic stent (DPT).
Standard LAMS Removal without DPT: In the standard arm, LAMS will be removed at 4 weeks.
Study summary
In adults with walled-off pancreatic necrosis (WON) undergoing endoscopic ultrasound (EUS)-guided transluminal necrosectomy, does early removal of the lumen-apposing metal stent (LAMS) (at 2 weeks or immediately after the last necrosectomy) with placement of a double-pigtail plastic stent (DPT), compared to delayed LAMS removal at 4 weeks without a DPT, result in a lower rate of pancreatic fluid collection (PFC) recurrence or need for reintervention over 12 months.
Eligibility
Primary outcome measure(s)
- Recurrence of Pancreatic Fluid Collection (PFC) — 12 months after initial drainage procedure
Recurrence is defined as the redevelopment of a symptomatic pancreatic fluid collection confirmed on imaging (CT or MRI) after initial resolution following endoscopic drainage and lumen-apposing metal stent (LAMS) removal. The recurrence rate will be compared between the early LAMS removal + double-pigtail plastic stent (DPT) group and the standard 4-week LAMS removal group.
