Acute Necrotizing Pancreatitis, Walled-Off Pancreatic Necrosis
Brief summary
The purpose of this study is to determine optimal treatment strategies for symptomatic walled-off pancreatic necrosis( WON).
Interventions
Patients will be stratified into two arms (Greater than 50% necrosis or less than 50% necrosis), then will be randomized to either the double pigtail plastic stent or AXIOS metal stent

Eligibility
Inclusion criteria
* Adult (\> 18 yo) patients * With symptomatic walled- off pancreatic necrosis in which an endoscopic approach is appropriate based on cross-sectional imaging * Must have solid necrotic material present in their pancreatic fluid collection as determined by MRI, EUS, or direct transluminal endoscopic imaging of the collection
Exclusion criteria
* Previous intervention for pancreatic necrosis (surgical, percutaneous, or endoscopic) * Indication for emergency laparotomy (compartment syndrome, bowel ischemia, bleeding, or perforation of a GI lumen) * Uncorrectable coagulopathy.
Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Complete resolution as defined by complete radiographic resolution of the walled-off necrosis (WON) | Baseline to 4 months after initiation of endoscopic treatment |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Clinical resolution of infection as defined by complete radiographic resolution and/or symptoms of pain and gastric outlet obstruction | Baseline to 4 months after initiation of endoscopic treatment |
| Symptom resolution (Visual Analogue Scale for pain, gastric outlet obstruction, and weight gain) | Baseline to 4 months after initiation of endoscopic treatment |
| Decrease in incidence of adverse events | Baseline to 4 months after initiation of endoscopic treatment |
| Decrease in number of hospital days during treatment course | Baseline to 4 months after initiation of endoscopic treatment |
| Decrease in total costs of pancreatitis-related health care during treatment course | Baseline to 4 months after initiation of endoscopic treatment |
