Multicenter Study Of Plastic Vs. Self-expanding Metal Stents In Endoscopic Ultrasound-drainage Of Walled-off Pancreatic Necrosis – Prometheus: A Randomised Controlled Trial Protocol
Abstract:KEYWORDSEndoscopic ultrasound, lumen apposing metal stent, metal self-expanding stent, plastic stent, trial, walled-off necrosis 3 Abstract Background: It seems that the appearance of lumen-apposing metal stents (LAMS), are displacing the role of plastic stents in the therapy of pancreatic fluid collection as walled-off necrosis (WON).
