Internal drainage using large-caliber lumen-apposing metal stents (LAMS) is now a dominant therapy for acute fluid collections and walled-off pancreatic necrosis associated with acute pancreatitis.

Endoscopic decompression and drainage of immature pancreatic and peripancreatic fluid collections with incomplete encapsulation by a wall of surrounding tissue have generally been avoided out

Biodegradable biliary and pancreatic stents with predictable performance would be tremendously cost-effective for many pathologies for which temporary stenting is used. In this prospective pilot

Increasing numbers of cystic tumors in the pancreas are being diagnosed. It is often difficult to precisely assign these highly varied tumors to a specific

Cystic pancreatic tumors are increasingly being detected at the asymptomatic stage, thanks to improved imaging, and “screening” imaging in particular. This often then leads to
