When Draining Walled-Off Pancreatic Necrosis, Attention to Disconnected Pancreatic Duct Syndrome Guides Terminal Steps in Therap
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.
