EUS‐guided Management of Pancreatic Pseudocysts and Walled‐off Necrosis
نویسندگان
چکیده
The outcome for endoscopic management of pancreatic fluid collections is dependent on the type of collection being treated. While pseudocysts have an excellent treatment response, the outcomes are modest for walled ‐off pancreatic necrosis. Recent advances in cross‐sectional body imaging have enabled more accurate distinction of pancreatic fluid collections, which in turn facilitates correct triage of patients to receive the appropriate treatment. Newly described endoscopic techniques and development of dedicated accessories have improved the clinical outcomes in WOPN with treatment success rates comparable to that of minimally invasive surgery. This review summarizes the key concepts and provides a concise update on the endoscopic management of pancreatic fluid collections.

متن کاملEndoscopic Management of Peri-Pancreatic Fluid Collections
In the past decade, there has been a progressive paradigm shift in the management of peri-pancreatic fluid collections after acute pancreatitis. Refinements in the definitions of fluid collections from the updated Atlanta classification have enabled better communication amongst physicians in an effort to formulate optimal treatments. Endoscopic ultrasound (EUS)-guided drainage of pancreatic pse...
متن کاملEndoscopic ultrasound-guided placement of plastic pigtail stents for the drainage of refractory malignant ascites
Endoscopic ultrasound (EUS)-guided drainage is now the treatment of choice in cases of pancreatic pseudocysts and walled-off necrosis, especially in the absence of luminal bulging and in patients with portal hypertension. Malignant refractory ascites usually heralds a poor prognosis and substantially impairs the quality of life of patients because of the symptoms experienced and the need for re...
متن کاملShort- and long-term results of endoscopic ultrasound-guided transmural drainage for pancreatic pseudocysts and walled-off necrosis
AIM To evaluate the short- and long-term results of endoscopic ultrasound-guided transmural drainage (EUS-GTD) for pancreatic fluid collection (PFC) and identify the predictive factors of treatment outcome for walled-off necrosis (WON) managed by EUS-GTD alone. METHODS We investigated 103 consecutive patients with PFC who underwent EUS-GTD between September 1999 and August 2015. Patients were...
متن کاملNobody really knows how to perform endoscopic necrosectomy
The advent of lumen-apposing metal stents (LAMSs) as a tool in endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) has had what can only be called a transformative effect on EUS‐guided drainage of pancreatic fluid collections (PFCs) including pseudocysts and, more importantly, walled‐off pancreatic necrosis.[1-6] These procedures are being performed at more centers and in much greater numbers than ever before. Older t...
