The first clinical experience with innovative HOT AXIOS stent in a patient with parapancreatic fluid collection

Fluid collection around pancreas is one of the most frequent remote complications of acute pancreatitis which often requires drainage. Drainage can be performed either surgically (with creation of cyst-jeuinal anastamosis), transcutaneously or endoscopically. In endoscopic methods endosonogrophic assisted drainage (EUS-guided drainage) with placement of metal self-expanding stents is widely used. Hot Axios is one the latest state-of the-art innovative stents used for draining of different types fluid collections including infected cysts. This clinical case demonstrates successful drainage of fluid collection under endosonographic guidance.
