Clinical application and follow-up of electrocautery-enhanced lumen-apposing metal stents for endoscopic ultrasonography-guided interventions

Annals of Medicine, 2023
Aim: The lumen-apposing metal stent (LAMS) is a new device that expands the scope of gastrointestinal intervention under endoscopy. LAMS was initially used for the treatment of pancreatic fluid collections (PFCs), but is increasingly being used off-label.

Current uses of electro-cautery lumen apposing metal stents in endoscopic ultrasound guided interventions

Frontiers in Medicine, 2022
The electro-cautery lumen apposing metal stent (EC-LAMS) is a newly developed device that integrates the electro-cautery cyctotome with the one-step metal stent delivery and releasing system in recent years.

Stent occlusion in endoscopic ultrasound-guided gallbladder drainage from bleeding mitigated by double pigtail plastic stent deployment within lumen apposing metal stent

International Journal of Gastrointestinal Intervention, 2021
Double pigtail plastic stents (DPTPS) are routinely placed with the lumen apposing metal stent (LAMS) during endoscopic ultrasound-guided gall bladder drainage. Several reasons are postulated for this practice.

Lumen-apposing covered self-expanding metal stent for management of benign gastrointestinal strictures

Endoscopy International Open, 2016
Background and aims: Self-expanding metal stents (SEMS) are safe and effective for endoscopic management of malignant gastrointestinal strictures, but there is limited experience with their use in refractory benign strictures.
