Candidemia after endoscopic therapy with lumen- apposing metal stent for pancreatic walled-off necrosis

Necrotizing pancreatitis remains a challenging and unpredictable condition accompanied by various complications. Endoscopic ultrasound-guided transmural drainage and necrosectomy have become the standard treatment for patients with walled-of necrosis (WON). Endoscopic therapy via lumen- apposing metal stents (LAMS) with large diameters has shown success in the management of pancreatic fuid collections, but there are few data on specifc complications of that therapy. We report a case of infected WON and concomitant fungemia following LAMS placement and necrosectomy. In addition, a systematic literature review of current related studies has been provided.
