Title: Sa2056 Endoscopic Ultrasound–guided Drainage of Pancreatic Fluid Collections in Children With Novel Self-Expanding Metal Stents
Abstract: Endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) guided drainage is the treatment of choice for pancreatic fluid collections (PFCs) in adults. Recently, specially designed fully covered self expanding metallic stents (FCSEMS) have been used with good outcomes in adult patients. However, the utility of SEMS in pediatric patients with PFCs is unknown and the literature is sparse.The aim of present study was to evaluate the efficacy and safety of EUS-guided drainage of PFCs using FCSEMS in children.
