Abstract
- This article, published in the journal Endoscopy, presents a systematic review and meta-analysis on the optimal removal time of lumen-apposing metal stents (LAMS) used for endoscopic ultrasound-guided drainage of pancreatic fluid collections (PFCs). The study aimed to assess the incidence of adverse events (AEs) after early (within 3-4 weeks) versus late (after 3-4 weeks) LAMS removal. The analysis included three studies with a total of 1565 patients, and the results showed that early removal of LAMS was associated with a lower rate of AEs. However, the authors note that more research is needed to provide robust data on this topic. [Extracted from the article]
