Description
Summary:Endoscopic ultrasound （EUS） guided drainage ofpancreatic fluid collections （PFC） has become increasinglypopular and become first line managementoptionin many centers. Use of therapeutic echoendoscopeshas greatly increased the applicability of EUS guidedtransmural drainage. Drainage is indicated insymptomatic PFCs, PFC related infection, bleed, luminalobstruction, fistulization and biliary obstruction. EUSguided transmural drainage of PFCs is preferred inpatients with non bulging lesions, portal hypertension,bleeding tendency and in those whom conventionaldrainage has failed. In the present decade significantprogress has been made in minimally invasive endoscopictechniques. There are newer stent designs,access devices and techniques for more efficientdrainage of PFCs. In this review, we discuss the EUSguided drainage of PFCs in acute pancreatitis.
