DIRECT ENDOSCOPIC NECROSECTOMY (DEN) OF WALLED-OFF PANCREATIC NECROSIS (WOPN) AFTER DRAINAGE WITH ELECTROCAUTERY ENHANCED LUMEN-APPOSING METAL STENT (EC-LAMS): TIME FOR HOT-SNARE TREATMENT? A CASE REPORT

A 60-years old woman developed a 10 cm-WOPN with signs of persistent infection. Therefore, she underwent to Endoscopic Ultrasound (EUS)-guided drainage using EC-LAMS. Because of the presence of large amount of solid necrosis, after 3 days we performed a contrast-enhanced EUS (CH-EUS) in order to exclude the presence of large vessels within the necrosis and therefore we performed DEN using both cold and hot-snare by bringing the tissue towards the gastric side. No complications occurred.
This is the first report of DEN using hot-snare and could provide an innovative approach for hard-to-treat WOPN.
