Abstract

Last decade has seen a paradigm shift in the management of pancreatic fluid collections (PFCs). This shift is largely due to the rapid evolution of endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) from a diagnostic into a therapeutic modality. Rapidly evolving therapeutic indications and techniques were coupled by innovation in accessories like large caliber lumen apposing metal stents. This has resulted in EUS-guided drainage of PFCs proving its effectiveness as a minimally invasive therapy with lower rate of complications as compared to other invasive approaches. It is now considered sine qua non in the management algorithm of symptomatic PFCs.
