Randomized Controlled Trial Comparative StudyProspective randomized trial comparing EUS and EGD for transmural drainage of pancreatic pseudocysts (with videos).
Although prior studies evaluated the role of EUS and EGD for drainage of pancreatic pseudocysts, there are no randomized trials that compared the technical outcomes between both modalities. ⋯ When available, EUS should be considered as the first-line treatment modality for endoscopic drainage of pancreatic pseudocysts given its high technical success rate.
