3 Clinical Trials for Various Conditions
The research design is a randomized prospective clinical trial comparing Endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) guided drainage of WON using FCSEMS and plastic stents. The trial will be conducted at the Florida Hospital Center for Interventional Endoscopy, Orlando, Florida.
Prospective, randomized controlled trial comparing Endoscopic Ultrasound (EUS) Guided cystogastrostomy or cystoduodenostomy and endoscopic necrosectomy to minimally invasive surgical necrosectomy, in patients with necrotizing pancreatitis.
The VARD (Videoendoscopic Assisted Retroperitoneal Drainage) approach as treatment for necrotizing pancreatitis proposes an alternative to standard complicated open abdomen treatment methods. This treatment involves making a small incision and looking inside the abdomen with a videoendoscope. A videoendoscope is an instrument with a small camera and light on the end. It also has an extension tool that the surgeon can use to clean out any dead and infected tissue in the abdomen. This approach may reveal a treatment opportunity with faster recovery potential and shorter hospitalizations for patients with necrotizing pancreatitis.
