A novel puzzle ring replacement technique of a lumen‐apposing metal stent with a double‐pigtail plastic stent to prevent walled‐off necrosis recurrence (with video) [PDF]
Replacing a lumen‐apposing metal stent (LAMS) with a double‐pigtail plastic stent (DPS) after treatment for walled‐off necrosis contributes to the prevention of recurrence. However, the success rate is not very high.

Endoscopic Step‐up Approach for Walled‐off Necrosis After Acute Pancreatitis [PDF]
This review outlines current interventional strategies for treating symptomatic walled‐off necrosis (WON) after necrotizing pancreatitis. Mortality from acute pancreatitis has improved, but late mortality, particularly from infected necrosis, remains a ...

Endoscopic management of active arterial bleeding in walled-off necrosis collection [PDF]
Background and Aims: Bleeding related to drainage of walled-off necrosis (WON) via a lumen-apposing metal stent (LAMS) and subsequent endoscopic necrosectomy is a known adverse event of the procedure. Typically, these bleeds are managed by interventional
