Abstract
Background and objectives: Various lumen-apposing metal stents (LAMSs) were used for pancreatic fluid collection (PFC) drainage for many years. The structural design of LAMS needs to be improved to reduce the occurrence of adverse events. This trial assessed the efficacy and safety of a novel modified LAMS for the drainage of PFCs.
Methods: This open-label, multicenter, prospective trial was done at 11 tertiary care hospitals. This study enrolled patients (18-75 years old) with confirmed diagnosis of PFC with cyst diameter no less than 6 cm. Novel LAMS (Micro-Tech Co, Ltd, Nanjing, China) was used. The primary end point was the 1-month postoperative drainage success rate. The secondary end points were technical success rate and adverse events. This study is registered with Chictr.org.cn, ChiCTR2000039955.
Results: Between December 9, 2020, and December 27, 2021, 100 patients with PFC were assessed for eligibility, and 94 patients met the criteria and agreed to participate in the trial. The median size of PFC cyst was 11.23 ± 3.84 cm. The drainage success rate was 90.48% (95% CI, 83.6%-97.3%) and achieved the prespecified target value of 75% (P < 0.0001). In subgroup analysis, the clinical success rates of pancreatic pseudocyst (PPC) and walled-off necrosis (WON) were 95.45% and 85%, respectively (P = 0.143). The overall technical success rate was 98.94%. Postoperative early adverse events occurred in 57 (60.64%) of 94 patients, and late adverse events were encountered in 16 (17.02%) of 94 patients. The overall rate of serious adverse event (bleeding-related death) was 2.13% (2/94). Patients with WON had a significantly higher rate of early adverse events compared to those with PPC (77.78% vs. 44.90%, P = 0.001).
Conclusions: The novel LAMS used in this trial was technically feasible, efficient, and safe for the treatment of PFCs. Comparable with WON, the usage of LAMS in PPC achieved a high drainage success rate and acceptable adverse events.
