A newly designed fully covered metal stent for lumen apposition in EUS-guided drainage and access: a feasibility study (with videos)

EUS-guided pseudocyst drainage: prospective evaluation of early removal of fully covered self-expandable metal stents with pancreatic ductal stenting in selected patients

“…Currently, most of the studies involving FCSEMS have small numbers and short duration of follow-up (Table 4). 4,6,[13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21] Technical success for stent placement was high in the current study. Two patients had technical failure due to the inability to release the stent from the outer sheath in 1 patient and stent malpositioning in the other.…”

“…Stent migration has been reported after FCSEMS use. 6,13,15 We did not have a single instance of stent migration in our study, despite the use of the CRE balloon for tract dilation. Careful attention during stent deployment with regard to distal and proximal ends probably reduces/prevents this problem.…”

Endoscopic Treatment of Pancreatic Diseases

“…Other authors reported that the use of hydrogen peroxide in their small case series facilitates the removal of necrotic debris, but the benefit and potential complications need to be further investigated [50,51]. The use of metal stents specially designed for drainage of pancreatic fluid collections was also reported in small case studies and the results regarding their efficacy are awaited [52][53][54].…”

Lumen apposing metal stents: A review of current uses and outcomes

“…2 The Niti-S Spaxus stent (Taewoong Medical Co., Ltd.) consists of nitinol wire and is fully covered with a silicone membrane. 3 This manuscript will review the current state of the art with regards to LAMS and their indications, usage, and outcomes.…”

“…1). [1][2][3][12][13][14] Due to their increased lumen size, AXIOS and NAGI LAMS are preferable when direct endoscopic necrosectomy (DEN) is required as it allows the endoscopist to pass the scope directly through the stent into the PFC to remove the necrotic material. 12,13 In a retrospective case-control study, Bang et al 14 compared 21 patients undergoing PP drainage (7 via LAMS, 14 via conventional plastic double pigtail stents) and 39 patients undergoing WON drainage (13 via LAMS, 26 via plastic stents).…”
