Brief summary

Randomized multicenter study comparing plastic stents and self-expanding metallic stents in the eus-guided transmural drainage of walled-off pancreatic necrosis. Spanish centers partners of the spanish society of digestive endoscopy.

Interventions

DEVICEWOPN TRANSMURAL DRAINAGE: PLASTIC STENT

Endoscopic ultrasound-guided transmural drainage of walled-off pancreatic necrosis: The pancreatic collection will be located with the linear echoendoscope, and we will proceed to choose an optimal area to perform the puncture guided by EUS; with the absence of intervening vessels. This collection will be punctured with a 19 G needle or with an electrocautery device directly. Guidance will be advanced through the needle and the ostomy will proceed according to the routine of the experienced endoscopist. Placement of a plastic double pigtail, 5-10 cm in length, diameters 7-8,5-10 Fr. Minimum one 10 Fr prosthesis. Arm associated: PLASTIC STENT

DEVICEWOPN TRANSMURAL DRAINAGE: METALLIC STENT

Endoscopic ultrasound-guided transmural drainage of walled-off pancreatic necrosis: The pancreatic collection will be located with the linear echoendoscope, and we will proceed to choose an optimal area to perform the puncture guided by EUS; with the absence of intervening vessels. This collection will be punctured with a 19 G needle or with an electrocautery device directly. Guidance will be advanced through the needle and the ostomy will proceed according to the routine of the experienced endoscopist. Placement of a metal self-expanding fully covered luminal apposition stent: 10, 15 or 20 mm diameter. Arm associated: SELF EXPANDABLE METALLIC STENT

Inclusion criteria

* Age greater than or equal to 18 years * Patient with indication (ASGE, Jacobson BC, GIE2005;) of pancreatic collection drainage type WALLED-OFF PANCREATIC NECROSIS \* as a local complication of previous acute pancreatitis. * Patient trained to understand and / or sign informed consent * Patient who understands the type of study and will comply with all follow-up of complementary tests during its duration

Exclusion criteria

* Pregnancy or breastfeeding * Severe coagulation disorder: INR\> 1.5 not correctable with plasma and / or platelet administration \<50,000 / mm3 * Asymptomatic patients, with no clinical indication of drainage, except for those with vascular involvement due to compression (eg stenosis, splenic vessels with collateral circulation, and risk of bleeding) * Non-identification of solid content during the Endoscopic Ultrasound of the procedure * No informed consent * In the case of patients with mental retardation, without the ability to understand the nature and possible consequences of the study, except for the existence of a legal representative * Patients unable to maintain posterior follow-up (lack of adherence) * Situations that do not allow the practice of a high digestive endoscopy (eg, stenosis)

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
RADIOLOGICAL SUCCESS4 weeksRadiological success at 4 weeks after the interventional procedure: reduction size of the wopn at least 50%.

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
CLINICAL SUCCESS4 monthEvaluate the long-term clinical success (4 months) (metallic vs. plastic) determined by the total resolution or \<3cm of the WOPN, releated with clinical improvement.
TECHNICAL ASPECTS1st dayEvaluate the technical success, duration of the procedure and level of difficulty.
RECURRENCES4 weeks, 8 weeks, 4 month, 6 month, 8 month, 12 monthEvaluate recurrences
COSTS ANALYSIS12 monthEvaluate the costs between the two types of strategy
INCIDENCE OF TREATMENT-EMERGENT ADVERSE EVENTS [SAFETY AND TOLERABILITY]1st day, 24h, 7 days, 4 weeks, 8 weeks, 4 month, 6 month, 8 month, 12 monthAssess safety: complications (immediate, early and late)

Other

MeasureTime frameDescription
TECHNICAL ASPECTS1st dayTechnical success: Correct release of the prosthesis (plastic or metallic) and drainage of the WOPN.
