Abstract

Background: Walled-off necrosis (WON) is a sequela of acute necrotizing pancreatitis preferentially managed with lumen apposing metal stents (LAMS). Adverse events including buried stent syndrome and bleeding have been associated with a longer duration of LAMS placement.

Objectives: We attempt to examine our outcomes of a standardized approach to LAMS dwell time and hypothesize that LAMS removal based on imaging characteristics and patient symptoms improves outcomes.

Design: From November 2015 to May 2022, a prospectively maintained database on patients with symptomatic WON undergoing endoscopic drainage with LAMS was retrospectively reviewed and analyzed.

Methods: Patient characteristics, procedure details, and outcomes were recorded. Imaging was performed at 1, 3, and 6 weeks after LAMS placement and 1 week after each necrosectomy. Imaging findings and patient symptoms were used to determine the need for repeat necrosectomy. The timing of LAMS removal was guided by adequate endoscopic necrosectomy and resolution of the patient's symptoms. Subgroups were identified based on the duration of LAMS placement (less than 4 weeks and more than 4 weeks). Independent t-tests (continuous variables) and Fisher's exact tests (categorical outcomes) were used to analyze the two groups.

Results: In all, 104 patients underwent endoscopic necrosectomy during the study period. Of the two subgroups identified based on LAMS dwell time, 70 patients had a LAMS duration greater than 4 weeks and 34 patients had a LAMS duration less than 4 weeks. Collections with >50% necrosis were more commonly seen in patients with longer LAMS dwell time (<4 weeks (12%) vs >4 weeks (33%), p = 0.031). The median number of necrosectomies was fewer in the early LAMS removal group compared to the late LAMS removal cohort (p = 0.03). Clinical outcomes including technical success, clinical success, delayed adverse events, and 6-month mortality were similar in both groups.

Conclusion: A patient-specific customized approach to endoscopic drainage of WON improves outcomes. Patients with extensive necrosis may require a longer LAMS dwell time to achieve adequate debridement and clinical resolution. An increased risk of bleeding or adverse events related to prolonged duration of LAMS placement was not observed in our study. Future larger prospective studies are needed to confirm these conclusions.

内窥镜坏死切除术后腔内金属支架移除的标准化方法:一种尺寸不适合所有。
背景:壁脱性坏死(WON)是急性坏死性胰腺炎的后遗症,首选腔内金属支架(LAMS)治疗。不良事件包括埋地支架综合征和出血与LAMS放置时间较长有关。目的:我们试图检查LAMS停留时间的标准化方法的结果,并假设基于成像特征和患者症状的LAMS去除可以改善结果。设计:从2015年11月至2022年5月,回顾性回顾和分析一个前瞻性维护的有症状的WON患者的数据库,这些患者接受LAMS内镜引流。方法:记录患者特征、手术细节和结果。在放置LAMS后1周、3周和6周以及每次坏死切除术后1周进行影像学检查。影像学表现和患者症状被用来确定是否需要进行重复坏死切除术。LAMS切除的时机取决于足够的内窥镜坏死切除术和患者症状的解决。根据LAMS放置时间(少于4周和超过4周)确定亚组。采用独立t检验(连续变量)和Fisher精确检验(分类结果)对两组进行分析。结果:在研究期间,总共有104例患者接受了内镜下坏死切除术。在根据LAMS停留时间确定的两个亚组中,70例患者LAMS持续时间大于4周,34例患者LAMS持续时间小于4周。在LAMS停留时间较长的患者(4周(33%),p = 0.031)中,bbb50 %坏死的集合更为常见。与晚期LAMS切除组相比,早期LAMS切除组的中位坏死切除数更少(p = 0.03)。两组的临床结果包括技术成功、临床成功、延迟不良事件和6个月死亡率相似。结论:针对患者的定制内镜下WON引流方法可改善预后。广泛坏死的患者可能需要更长的LAMS停留时间来达到充分的清创和临床解决。在我们的研究中没有观察到与延长LAMS放置时间相关的出血或不良事件的风险增加。需要未来更大规模的前瞻性研究来证实这些结论。
