A comparison of novel electrocautery-enhanced lumen-apposing metal stents and plastic stents in endoscopic ultrasound-guided drainage of infected walled-off necrosis: a multicenter randomized study.

We found no significant difference in the total number of DEN procedures between LAMSs and plastic stents for managing infected WON. The only statistically significant finding was a higher clinical success rate at 8 weeks for patients treated with LAMS. The use of LAMS did not result in any adverse events, such as bleeding or buried LAMS syndrome, within the study duration.
