Clinical Trials
The purpose of this study is to determine optimal treatment strategies for symptomatic walled-off pancreatic necrosis( WON).
This is a multi-center, single-blinded, randomized trial comparing AXIOS FCSEMS (Fully Covered Self Expanding Metal Stent) and plastic stents for EUS (Endoscopic Ultrasound)-guided managem...
The present study aims to compare the clinical efficacy and cost effectiveness of the AXIOS™ stent versus the "conventional" approach using double pigtail plastic stents in the treatment...
The Efficacy of Plastic Stent Anchoring to Reduce Migration of Metal Stent
The aim of this study is to demonstrate that the group with an additional plastic stent to anchor the fully covered self expandable metal stent (FCSEMS) in patients with malignant biliary ...
Walled of necrosis (WON) is severe local complication of acute necrotizing pancreatitis. Disconnected pancreatic duct syndrome(DPDS) is commonly seen (50-60%) after necrotizing pancreatiti...

Endoscopic ultrasound (EUS)-guided drainage of pancreatic wall-off necrosis (WON) with transmural stent is regarded as firstline therapy. We aimed at comparing its efficacy and safety with using fully...
The aim of this study was to evaluate whether the placement of a coaxial double-pigtail plastic stent (DPS) within a lumen-apposing metal stent (LAMS) may improve the safety of endoscopic ultrasoun...
Bi-flanged metal stents (BFMS) have shown promise in the drainage of walled-off pancreatic necrosis (WON), but their placement requires multiple steps and the use of other devices. More recently, a...
EUS-guided transmural drainage is effective in the management of pancreatic walled-off necrosis (WON). A lumen-apposing metal stent (LAMS) has recently been developed specifically for the drainage of ...
Dedicated stents placed under endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) guidance have shown promise for the management of pancreatic walled-off necrosis (WON). A long duration of stent placement may increase the...
Medical and Biotech [MESH] Definitions
Neointima
The new and thickened layer of scar tissue that forms on a PROSTHESIS, or as a result of vessel injury especially following ANGIOPLASTY or stent placement.
Ostomy
Surgical construction of an artificial opening (stoma) for external fistulization of a duct or vessel by insertion of a tube with or without a supportive stent.
Infectious Pancreatic Necrosis Virus
The type species of AQUABIRNAVIRUS, causing infectious pancreatic necrosis in salmonid fish and other freshwater and marine animals including mollusks.
Endoleak
Postoperative hemorrhage from an endovascular AORTIC ANEURYSM repaired with endoluminal placement of stent grafts (BLOOD VESSEL PROSTHESIS IMPLANTATION). It is associated with pressurization, expansion, and eventual rupture of the aneurysm.
Casts, Surgical
Dressings made of fiberglass, plastic, or bandage impregnated with plaster of paris used for immobilization of various parts of the body in cases of fractures, dislocations, and infected wounds. In comparison with plaster casts, casts made of fiberglass or plastic are lightweight, radiolucent, able to withstand moisture, and less rigid.
