Endoscopic removal of pancreatic dead tissue: two technique options
Part of Digestive system, Infections clinical trials.
This trial compares two ways of clearing “walled-off” dead tissue in the pancreas using an endoscope—one is standard tools, the other is the EndoRotor® system. It aims to see which approach is safer and works better after you’ve already had drainage.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have symptomatic pancreatic walled-off necrosis caused by acute pancreatitis, and you need endoscopic necrosectomy after EUS-guided drainage
- A drainage stent must be in place for at least 2 days before the necrosectomy
- You can safely and comfortably have repeat endoscopic procedures (multiple sessions)
- You can understand the study, sign consent, and come back for follow-up visits
- You have no signs of a large pseudoaneurysm (a bleeding blood-vessel) bigger than 1 cm in the necrosis area

This trial tests a new device (Endorotor) against standard methods to clean out infected fluid collections in the pancreas after severe pancreatitis. It aims to see if the new approach works better and costs less.
This study compares two ways to treat a pancreatic infection pocket (walled-off necrosis): removing dead/infected tissue right away versus starting with drainage and escalating if needed. It may help find the safest, most effective approach for getting the infection under control.
This study compares two different approaches—one focused on when to drain the dead tissue and another on how to drain it—for treating necrotizing pancreatitis. The goal is to find which strategy leads to better recovery and fewer complications.
This trial compares two ways of feeding after a procedure to drain pancreatic necrosis: a tube placed into the small intestine or eating by mouth. It aims to see which method helps recovery better.
