Endoscopic Ultrasound-Guided Drainage and Treatment of Symptomatic Pancreatic Fluid Collection following Acute or Acute-on-Chronic Pancreatitis - A Single Center Case Series.

CONCLUSIONS: We confirm that EUS-guided drainage followed by DEN in patients with solid necrotic material is an effective and relatively safe therapeutic approach. Prolonged elevation of CRP and fungal colonisation of the PFC are associated with a worse course of the disease. PMID: 29996169 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
