- Pancreatic necrosis complicates approximately 20% of cases of acute pancreatitis. Traditional treatment has been surgical débridement or percutaneous drainage. Necrotic tissue can mature to form well-defined, discrete collections of walled-off pancreatic necrosis. Endoscopic ultrasonography (EUS)-guided endoscopic necrosectomy is safe and efficacious and should be considered in symptomatic, infected, or especially large collections. A novel EUS-guided lumen-apposing self-expanding metal stent has been developed to facilitate access and drainage.
