Course Description
Over the recent years, there have been major developments in lumen apposing fully covered metal stents for the management of complex gastrointestinal disorders. This video outlines the specifications, pancreatic and non-pancreatic applications, complications, and opportunities associated with this new frontier. We review the latest literature and guidelines, demonstrate the standard practice, and highlight the various potential applications and outcomes associated with lumen apposing metal stents (LAMS). We anticipate that this video will be instructive for fellows in training, endoscopists in practice, procedure nurses and technicians, and anyone who wants a better understanding of LAMS.
