How EUS Drainage (Pseudocyst/WON; Lumen-apposing Metal or Plastic Stent) is performed
Within the accessible gastrointestinal cavity, the pseudocyst or walled-off necrosis cavity is located by endoscopic ultrasound, and the proximity to the gastrointestinal wall is assessed. A common practice is to puncture under ultrasound and fluoroscopic guidance, guide the guidewire into the cyst cavity, and then expand the channel to place a cavity metal or plastic stent to achieve continuous internal drainage; if it is a necrotic cavity, staged endoscopic debridement can be performed as appropriate. Postoperative monitoring for infection, bleeding, and patency. The above is general health information, not medical advice; specific details are subject to specialist evaluation and hospital protocols.
