EUS-guided drainage for post-pancreatitis fluid collections
Part of Cancer, Digestive system clinical trials.
This trial tests a procedure using an ultrasound through the stomach to drain fluid collections that form after pancreatitis. It aims to relieve symptoms like pain or blockages without major surgery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have a fluid collection in your pancreas after pancreatitis that is causing symptoms like belly pain, bloating, or trouble eating.
- The fluid collection may be infected or not, with or without dead tissue (necrosis).
- If you have a pseudocyst (a fluid-filled sac), it must have been present for at least 6 weeks since your last pancreatitis attack.
- The fluid collection is pressing on nearby organs like the bile duct or portal vein.
- You are not pregnant or have bleeding problems, and you are healthy enough for anesthesia.

This study tracks patients who get endoscopic treatment for fluid collections in or around the pancreas. It aims to collect data to improve care for future patients.
This trial tests a new stent device (HANAROSTEN® HOT Plumber™ with Z-EUSIT™) to drain fluid collections in the pancreas. It may help if you have a pancreatic pseudocyst or walled-off necrosis with mostly fluid content.
This study compares two methods for draining fluid that builds up after surgery to remove the left part of the pancreas. The goal is to see which method is safer and more effective for relieving symptoms like pain or infection.
This study tests a new lab test called PanCystPro that looks at fluid taken from a pancreatic cyst during an endoscopic ultrasound. It aims to help doctors better manage your condition.
This trial compares two types of stents (plastic and metal) to drain pancreatic pseudocysts. It aims to find which stent works better for relieving symptoms.
This trial tests a new procedure using an ultrasound camera passed through your mouth to inject medicine directly into pancreatic cysts. It may help shrink cysts in people who cannot have surgery.
