PROCEDURE

Immediate necrosectomy

"Endoscopic ultrasonography (EUS)-guided drainage will be conducted within 72 hours from randomization. A convex-type echoendoscope is advanced to the stomach or duodenum, and the walled-off necrosis (WON) is visualized and punctured under EUS guidance. A lumen-apposing metal stent (LAMS), such as Hot AXIOS system (Boston Scientific Japan, Tokyo, Japan), is recommended for the initial EUS-guided drainage.~For the immediate necrosectomy group, endoscopic necrosectomy (EN) will be performed in the same session of EUS-guided drainage using a gastroscope. The endoscope is inserted into the WON cavity through the LAMS, and necrotic tissue is removed using biopsy forceps, snare, or basket catheter. The EN procedures will be repeated until clinical improvement."

PROCEDURE

Step-up approach

"Endoscopic ultrasonography (EUS)-guided drainage will be conducted within 72 hours from randomization. A convex-type echoendoscope is advanced to the stomach or duodenum, and the walled-off necrosis (WON) is visualized and punctured under EUS guidance. A lumen-apposing metal stent (LAMS), such as Hot AXIOS system (Boston Scientific Japan, Tokyo, Japan), is recommended for the initial EUS-guided drainage.~For the step-up approach group, an additional interventional procedure will be withheld for 72-96 hours after initial EUS-guided drainage. In cases without clinical improvement after 72-96 hours, additional drainage will be permitted, which includes increasing the number of stents, additional EUS-guided drainage, and performing percutaneous drainage (step-up treatment). Insufficient improvement even after two times of step-up treatment allows subsequent endoscopic necrosectomy (EN)."
