Utility of stent-in-stent technique in management of post-pancreatitis splenic abscess using forward-viewing echoendoscope

Abstract

Highlight Elshair and colleagues describe a novel technique which could be applied for drainage of any paragastric fluid collection, including pseudocyst and abscess. In comparison to the oblique-view echoendoscope, the forward-viewing echoendoscope allows concurrent stent-in-stent placement over the same axis. Double-pit stent deployment inside the metal stent prevents bleeding and metallic-stent kinking.
