NCT ID NCT02845258

First seen Apr 29, 2026 ยท Last updated Apr 29, 2026

Summary

This study looked at 80 adults with painful or infected fluid pockets (pseudocysts) in the pancreas caused by severe pancreatitis. Doctors used a special ultrasound-guided scope to drain the cysts. The goal was to see how often complications like bleeding or infection happened and how many people needed a second drainage. The study found that this method is generally safe and effective, but some patients may need more than one procedure.
